   Maybe there's no shortage, but I have 2 Best Buy's, 2 Curcuit City's and a CompUSA near my home and they haven't seen an FX5800 Ultra yet and don't know when they'll get one. Last time I looked they didn't have them listed on there web site's either.They don't have any 9700 Pro's either, but I think they are getting ready for the 9800 Pro release and day now.

   I doubt that there is a shortage; there hasn't really ever been an NVIDIA chip shortage before. Olefarte, NVIDIA now has all GeForce FX GPU's listed on their [URL=http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=geforcefx]GeForce FX page[/URL].

   to my knowledge no one ever claimed there was a shortage of the [b]FX SERIES[/b] cards. there was however reliable info that the 5800 Ultra would be a limited edition card.Nvidia sidesteps that issue by saying it will ship 1.5 million of the [b]FX SERIES[/b] which includes even NV31 and NV 34 cards which havent even shipped yet. Nvidia may no longer be the king of the graphics cards but it is still master of the B.S. PR.
