[ale] Video Cards

[Geoffrey]

I've found that you're going to get a better price with local tech shops
over the Microsoft resellers (best buys, office [max|depot], compusa,
microcenter..).  Check out the places you'll find in the tech section of
the Atlanta J+C if you want to do local business.  Otherwise, check out
http://pricewatch.com for the best prices.  I've had good success with
both.

I personally find MicroCenter to be about the highest price folks around
and the techs at Best Buys to be the most clueless.
