I got a great deal on RADEON 9000

I went to staples today and got the best deal yet. My geforce2 died 2 days ago (goddamn card) and so I come to staples prepared with pricematching and a coupon code.

I tell em to get me the 9000 I show them to pricematch canadacomputers. "Hmm sorry canadacomputers are being watched by the RCMP and being investigated for having stolen merchandise they are selling. A company went in disguised and bought quicktax, traced the serial back and it was staples. So they had stolen goods from us". So im think ahh facking bastards, I pay but I had a $15 off $100 coupon and I got it for $208 after tax original price $195.95 So I go home and I look infonecs, $179 ONLY $1 MORE THAN CANADACOMPUTERS!! My dad told me to go back to staples so we went and we pricematched $179 150 percent and $15 coupon so I got it for $178 AFTER TAX! Damn good deal if you ask me. Even $1 below what infonec is selling for after tax hehehehehe

this card roxo

I think you should have just spent the extra $100.. went to U Computer and picked up the Radeon 9500. It yields better performance than the 9000 but I must admit that the 9000 .. you got a good price for it :P

9500 is overclockable to the same speed as the 9700... just a bit of tweaking here and there and you're set.

How come you refunded the 9000?

I'll call up U Computer for you today and let you know how much it is.

9500 is many times better than the 9000. Check out http://www.anandtech.com for reviews.
