I saw them last week in Panthip in Jedi.

I too hunger for one. They had an an Asus for about 18k.

They said the Saphire version will be in after New year when the new distributer is up an running.

I plan to buy one and also a new Dual core E8400 now that I have a working 64bit system for lots of memory!

Post back if you buy one

Busitek have them online - and probably some of the other online suppliers by now: http://www.busitek.com

In passing, I'd recommend you look at the HIS Radeon IceQ4........... it got some very good write-ups and will be my preferred choice when I'm ready.

The ATI Cards available at Pantip in several shops.

May you should also consider to use an 3.party driver. http://guru3d.com is an excellent source for special drivers for ATI and Nvidia cards, modified for Gamers.

Cheers.

Yes look on the 4th floor of Pantip. I bought an MSI 4850 a few months ago when they first came out. Awesome card & excellent value.

The 48XX series runs very hot though - core temperature 80 degrees when idle - up to 90 under load!.

Yep - and the main reason why I recommend the HIS IceQ4........... they paid a lot of attention to additional cooling.
