I was reading more about this card and found out that RIGHT NOW there is a special deal on at ATI where if you send them in your old PCI video card they will send you any high-end ATI card and refund you $80.00 Canadian or $50.00 American when you send in the other card. You have to fill in a application on-line at the ATI website and let them have your credit card number and the make, model and serial number of the video card you will be sending. It can be any model from any company. See the website and read the FAQs for more info. I ordered one yesterday and offered them my old ATI mach32 PCI video card. Canadians get to fill in a Canadian form and Americans fill in an American form. This company operates on both sides of the border so hopefully they will be shipped from the country you live in sto avoid Customs charges and extra taxes. The ATI Radeon 7000 Macintosh Edition costs just $79.00 American under this program plus your old card. Other new ATI cards cost more but the same discount program applies to any of them.
