Make sure your power supply can support it:

No tax for you, maybe.

I live in Memphis, TN. I get most things I order next day (with the default shipping option) if it comes from the Memphis warehouse, but I get taxed no matter which warehouse it comes from.

Funny but thats exactly what it says on the ATI site about the 3800 series as well. Now it dosent take a genius to know something isnt quite right when they are claiming the need for the same amount of power for a card that draws about 80 watts and one that draws about 110 watts, thats 6.6 Amps or 9.1. So either they are way over estimating the 3800 cards or letting the 4800 cards run close to the edge. My guess is they are way overestimating both.

you can get the same one from newegg for the same price and then get a $30 rebate on top of it.

well i don't know about u guys but i dont rely on rebates as they take 3 months to receive...
the 4850 they have at bestbuy is the visiontech and it comes with a $10 gift card so its $150 if u take the tax out of the $10 gift card... no shipping...
i think for bestbuy its an amazing deal...

Reply to Nica Guy

also the cheapest newegg has is $140 after a $30 rebate... which means you have to pay $170.... and the game it comes with sucks a$$...

Reply to Nica Guy

I just went to best buy's website and they have the 4870 for $250 plus you get a $10 gift card. The funniest part is that every time I go in my local best buy is that they have an 8600gts right out front on display for $279.

edit
