- Well, this is presumably list price, hence it should be street priced
- at $250-300, as was predicted earlier by rumour. If it goes for about
- this price, it should be a strong alternative to the ATI cards. And
- if sales pick up, the price will be down, in the usual way of things,
- as time goes by. If, on the other hand, it goes for no less than
- $500, then it will be a relatively slow seller. The card break-point
- for the mass-market seems to be ~$300. Much more than this, and sales
- will drop drastically.
