Well, that newsletter said it ends the 11th, so tomorrow. But whenever you order you could prolly find something else that has $10 off on sale such as gpu or whatever;)

If your talking about a ATI 4770, its somewhere between a Nvidia 8800/9800GT and a 9800GTX+/GTS 250. The 9800GTX+/GTX 250 is pretty equal to a 4850

isnt the 4770 only about 5% slower than the 4850 which would make it pretty much equivalent to the 9800gtx+

I look at it like the 4850 and 9800GTX+/GTS 250 pretty much equivalent, so the 4770 is close to 5% slower than either. But it is 20/30 bucks cheaper than either one. I would say the 4770 is equivalent to a 9800GTX

Yeah, the 4850 is better than the 4770. AMD's offerings are basically like this:

4830->4770->4850->4870->4890->4850x2->4870x2
