Even in my old PC, I had to wait for 4 months to buy a video card. But the video card I bought for the PC was an amazing card. Radeon 9700Pro, for Rs.35,000!!! This was when it was selling for around US$260-300. Price wise, it was OK. Expensive, but for the performance it delivered, it was fine. (This was a present from my grand father for me passing A/Ls with 3 A's) This was the third fastest card by then, pretty much like the X1900XT now. But the damn thing burnt after about 1.5 years!!! You wouldn't know how bad I felt. Then I had to buy a 9600Pro, which gave about 60% of speed of the old card. I felt so terrible that I almost gave up gaming. I was gonna get a 6600 (non pro) but there weren't any AGP cards. 9600Pro was the only AGP card. I bought it for 13,500 about two years ago. (at that time, 6600 non pro pci-e was Rs.22,000 and delivered pretty much the same performance as the 9700Pro)Now this X800GTO card was a dream come true. Maybe a little patience will be rewarded. Too bad ATI's DX10 cards won't be released for a while (at least till January end). Then cards like X1600 will become cheaper and affordable.</blockquote>
