6600gt

This has probably been asked before, but I searched and couldn't find the answer.
Does anyone know where the best place online would be to order the XFX 6600GT AGP card with a hope of getting it before christmas, or is it impossible to get these cards?

Thanks.

We.ve been having thread after thread on the 6800/6600 but never get tired of it.

Here ya go 1 & 2

All out of stock but 1-3 days? Maybe ring them and ask any chance of getting it? I always find their deliveries are late, but even so if they get them by next week you should have it by christmas.

Nukem beat me too it!

Thanks, I might go ahead and order it from Overclockers. I've tried ringing them but I keep getting some woman saying "Sorry, this service is not available". :rolleyes: I've e-mailed them too, but I've heard they just ignore e-mails, but we'll see. If I order it from them, I can't cancel the order because they take the money straight away?

Thanks.

Wait until Monday and talk to them. They won't do anything over the weekend anyway. OcUK aren't as good as they used to be, but they are still ok. I ordered stuff from them on wed and they told it me would be here in 48 hours. I was right not to believe them, as it still isn't here. I really wanted it this weekend but I expected it to be late. I haven't used them in a while, after some hassle in the past with RMA some stuff. Be interesting to see how long it takes to get the order. No where else had stock of the items I wanted.

Just ordered the card off Komplett. I ordered ram off shop4memory.com and a Shuttle and hard drive off dabs.com. Should be interesting to see which arrives first, thought I suspect it will be the ram. Not bad for €827. :rolleyes:

EDIT: The order confirmation email from Komplett says:

Schedule Date:02.12.2004 Unconfirmed qty:1,00

I got the Shuttle and hard drive off dabs.com for €390 delivered, the memory off shop4memory.com (Patriot 1Gb kit Low Latency PC3200 Dual Channel, it's a name I've never heard of, but I read some reviews of their products and they all seem to be good.) for €219, and the graphics card off Komplett for €229 delivered.

Works out at €838, a little more than what I originally posted, but as
my maths teacher says, I can't add. :rolleyes: Either way, I'm happy with what I got, and at the end of the day, isn't that what matters?
