it turns out the exe files are just higher quality BINK videos.

so i assume the demos arent complete yet and they just bashed them upto show what it is capable of and as no one has a radeon 9700 yet i guess it dont matter.

i wonder how the final radeon 9700 demos will look.

Looks like there adding better cooling to the card

it will still be intresting to see what the third party manufactures do with the cooling ,i expect gainward and hercules models to have nice ram sinks and a better quality fan.

You can buy a 8500 64 MB for around $92.00 and the 8500 128MB for $229.00 and a GeForce 4200 64MB for $200.The prices are falling and theres gonna be some good choices out there for cheap.That 9700 is impressive though,and I would like to see their demo mpg.
