    I was looking at the zx5000 options today (even though I already ordered mine) and the Radeon 9600 is back as an option. Except now, it's available in 128 meg form instead of 64. So those of you who were turned away from the computer because of the absense of the 9600, it's safe to buy now. [ :D]

    thats great news, and hopefully its not another mistake, because the description when you click tell me more or whatever is the same description as the 9200 [?].

    zx5000 :: 2.4M :: 512 DDR :: 40gb 4200 RPM HD :: 15.4" :: Radeon 9600 Mobilty M10 :: Aquamark3 22,856

    Too late, I am getting mine on Friday. [ :D] Actually, they have to fix the processor as well, because this video card was long available through staples.com. Wanna have some fun? Now, it is not available at staples any more! [ :D]

    I guess they are fighting now to get 9600/128 cards! To make me feel sorry about my purchase they will have to put Mobile Athlon-64 in this box. What if they really do? zx5000 with M-Athlon-64 and ATI 9600/128? I guess I will be sending my Emachine back then. [ :D][ :D][ :D]

    Thats pretty funny the day after I decide to go with dell they come out with the 9600 again. Haha. Anyways...Im getting the ATI 9700 128mb so that should do the trick anyhow. Just thought it was funny.
