There's the AIW Radeon 9600 Pro, for around $230, you can see a performance-oriented review <A HREF="http://www.sysopt.com/reviews/ati-AiW9600Pro/index.html" target="_new">Here</A>

That's $230 US.

Sorry, the Radeon 8500DV would be cheaper, but with much less performance.

You can get the 9600 AIW for $310 cdn, or the 9000 AIW for $230 cdn. The 9600 is worth the extra money though.

Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

The asus 9600XT with vivo might be a good alternative. It's still about $280.Can.
