Here's the thing: With the recent death of my 9800 Pro I got a borrowd Gf DDR (yes, the first ones ;) The cooler was damage so I took it of but for my surprise I faced a glued (or something like that) "dissipator" (the thingy that dissipates the heat made of copper or any other metal, I don't no the english word for it sorry). So I had to find a fan to replace the damaged one... The only thing I found was a P4 fan.. lol With some string I arrange to fit it on the card. Now it's running cool like ice! But I'm afraid something goes wrong so I want to replace it asap.

Do anyone know when are the new ati cards hit the shelves? I'me thinking of buying one.. Will the X800Pro be a good choice? or even the normal X800?

the thing is.. I live in Portugal so I have to wait sometime for it to hit the shelves here. Will the Pro be a good choice? Thanks!

The fan stopped and the person (my father) that was using the pc ignored the artifacts and left the pc on...

yes. Only in 2d. It was all in stock. 380/680. Now I'm waiting for someone to go to usa to get me a X800Pro. Do you know of a safe site that ships overseas?
