I know a couple US online sellers have the Radeon 7500
www.newegg.com is one of them..

As for the Radeon 8500...it just started shipping this past monday and it was Holiday in the USA monday also. I'm guessing that the card will be in stock by the end of this week beinging of next. I have one ordered from Dell (got it for $200 with a deal ) and I hope to have it next week...I'm most likely gonna sell it in a couple months once the new Matrox card comes out....

Anyone got one of the new Radeons yet? Very curious to see if ATI has improved in the driver department or not.

From what I've been reading the WinXP beta drivers have been "hosing" people's setups.

They did improve it.

The 8500dv looks like one hell of a card.. tv tuner stacked on there with all the power of the 8500.. cackle

I'll probably wait until christmas time to get one, since the price will be down some by then, and drivers will be more mature. I'd like to stick with matrox, but they don't have anything with even low-end speed anymore.

yea I'm planning on picking up a 8500DV as well. Not only is it a 8500 AIW, it also has a RF remote and firwire. 2 things the Radeon AIW obviously didn't have. Can't wait to get one. I hope it comes out soon.

How long was it after the Radeon's released did the AIW Radeon start shipping?

I just want a plain one, fasted chip, fasted memory, but no TV, DVD, Dual Head, or whatever else. Just a card. Or maybe the FASTEST card on the planet. hehe, never know.
