Why does it take so long just to ship the ATI Radeon HD 5970 video card? Says it would take between 2 and 4 week to ship?

Says it would take between 2 and 4 week to ship Just wondering why it would take that long. I could understand maybe a week, but 2 to 4? Just curious as to why it wouldn't be quicker than that.

Large distance The Radeon HD 5970 card is manufactured in space and so it takes that long for both manufacture and then transport your card from the ATI space station. The reason it's made in space is because it's a total "clean" area where dust isn't an issue for the manufacture of the silicon.

1 I believe the problem is in getting the chips. They are having a hard time making them in sufficient quantities to meet the demand.

Konstantinov replied to post #1: 2 Ah, I figured as much. I had just thought that if they didn't have sufficient supplies they would wait a while and put the status as "out of stock" before shipping stuff they don't technically have. Oh well.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
