Just spoke to Dell, all excited about getting an upgrade, then i was told its $840 from spare parts no negotiating allowed. Was definatly not expecting that much. Now im even considering selling my baby to build my own latest and greatest desktop. Too bad.

Whats the lowest price it has been bought for in America? Also if there are any other Aussies out there that have purchased it for a cheaper price plz let me know !!..

No offense - but as an XPS purchaser, makes me glad. I paid to have that upgrade and would get upset if 9100 users ended up with the same cost as an XPS user ($320 US dollars - btw).

I just purchased my MR9800 for $254 bucks after a $40 coupon from dell last Friday. Should be here by the end of the week.

Do you have any friends in the USA? We can usually get it for ~$360 USD direct from the Dell website.

The $840 he was giving us is probably in australian dollars. If you convert that into USD, it's probably around $400, I'm guessing...since we can get it for about $360 as stated above, I'd assume throw in some extra cost for shipping and stuff.

Your right thats $840 Australian dollars, but even once converted to US thats still mroe than double !! I dont know anyone in the US that could buy one and ship it for me. If i could get my hands on one for $400 or even $500 i would snap it up in a second ..

adrenaline if you buy a mr9800, you can sell your old card to someone like me who only has a 64mb mr9700 and you can make 50-75 dollars.

Sounds to me like some starving college student should be running a little side-business. How much would it cost to ship?

austin, tx. wish they would let me drive over to dell to pick up things

i was joking saying you send me 500, i will buy 2...ship one to you and keep one myself :P

but seriously, i dont know why anyone here wouldnt mind doing this for you if you pay shipping and all. im still running m9700....no money for upgrade. i know most people have been successful at getting the installation cost taken off. i could try as well if you wanted. ive done it for someone else before when they wired money to me using paypal.
