Did they make a BILLION of them or something? Seems like there are more of these than the retail in stores. Why would you make all these samples?
Just curious

there's a little canadian store that seems to have a contract with ATi to sell these cards. The store gets them for dirt cheap and they sell it for dirt cheap (relative to a retail one)
They turn a tidy little profit, and us canadians get nice cards
at least thats how I got my Radeon AIW, and i assume thats how most others got their Radeons 64 ES's, i could be wrong...

Hey FuNPoLiCe001,
Where is that store? Cause although I will still probably get an ES from Viperoni, I want one of those Radeon AIW samples, cause well I'm a cheap bastard.

Actually, ATi has a deal with a local gentleman, who then turns around and sells them to a store in downtown Toronto called Above All Electronics. The guy who runs the store, says this arrangement is ongoing, so I plan on picking up a Radeon 2 MAXX for next to nothing, when it comes out
Damn pie thieves...
