"While the Radeon 9800 XT represents no dramatic change from the Radeon 9800 Pro, it is currently the fastest video card for gaming that you can buy and although at a high price of $499, a card that should last for years and be able to take on tomorrow's games. With the recent delay of Half-Life 2, this does come as a setback to ATI but regardless the game will be released and it does come with a coupon for the full version of Half-Life 2. Not only that, but ATI is also working on the 9600 XT, a more mainstream version of the 9800 XT that will be released later this month for $199 and come with the same coupon for Half-Life 2. Currently we're not sure when the game will see it's release date but there are many other games on the horizon that will take advantage of the Radeon 9800 XT's features and speed."'
