You could always go for a slightly slower processor, as they're usually loads cheaper. If you really need one that fast, then you'll either shell out the extra money or force yourself to wait. :|

lol, first off just cause the card has 128mb doesn't mean it'll perform like a top card and second off, stay the hell away from Power Color, yeah the board may be cheap but there's a price you pay on the side, way back when i had a Power Color Radeon 8800, and the thing was a POS, given that it only worked in 1 out of 6 computers that i tried it in and that the screen would often get green horizontal lines from a cold sotter joint, i've tried to tell ppl to stay the hell away from those cards, also, you might wanna check out their website, tell me if you see anything wrong with it, if you don't go ahead and email the tech support saying you have a problem, if you get an answer back within a year, i will personally send you money, i told them my problem, i told them i had a cold sotter joint and i wanted a new card (which ati, asus, msi and others would have gladly done cause the card was new) they just stopped emailing me back, the bastards, you might wanna look a lil deeper into your accesories before you get them

if you want my advice, the best price/performance card out there is the 9600XT, and don't go with powercolor

also the 9600xt 256MB is only like $5-$10 more than the 128MB version.

also the 64 bit 3200+ has fallen to within arround $50 of the 3000+ and has a 1M cache... my finances fell through so i have a couple more months to wait but am DEFINATELY going with 64

ive been told that the power color 9200 128MB SE is preatty good compared to the others around of its category,maybe not as powerfull but i thought i could pay 75$ less and put it somehwere else (party)

You're getting ripped off.

P4 2.66GHz = $230
ASUS P4P800-VM = $136
768MB DDR400 = $50x3
Radeon 9200SE = $68 (the non-pro is $98)
Logitech MX300 (mouse) = $31
Microsoft Internet Keyboard = $21
SUBTOTAL: $636 CDN
I'd like to know what other things you're getting that's costing you over $500...
