i'm considering purchasing a 9800pro 128mb in the US, even though i live in Australia. Which means i have to order it online.

you can try going to <A HREF="http://www.pricewatch.com" target="_new">http://www.pricewatch.com</A> and searching for the lowest prices, then going to <A HREF="http://www.resellerratings.com" target="_new">http://www.resellerratings.com</A> and checking the rating of the lowest priced places before you buy.

or you can just go straight to <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com" target="_new">http://www.newegg.com</A> =)

dont buy a US card if you live in australia. if you dont recieve it there are no laws to help you. if anything goes wrong with the card you have to send it back to the US to get it fixed. the best place in australia to buy a 9800 pro is www.gamedude.com.au there prices start at $565 for a Gexcube.

Remember if you buy from the USA, there will likely be a large export and shipping charge for that package to travel so far and go through customs. Also that other guy is probably right about laws, as far as getting your money back if your card is damaged or something

You may want to try a local retailer, or an Australian online retailer. Or, if you do want a US online store, try here

My friend owns the following shop in the land of Oz and would appreciate your business:

<A HREF="http://www.shop.raneye.com.au/products.asp?cat=videocard" target="_new">http://www.shop.raneye.com.au/products.asp?cat=videocard</A> He has a tough time updating his prices so if you think the card should be cheaper, tell him!
