I still think of that graphics card as the X800 Xtra Large - its still a very impressive card that will eat pretty much anything!

If you are worried about pricing, then check out the current prices new:http://www2.shopping.com/xFS?FD=0&KW=x800+xl

X800 XL for $200 is very very good price. You basically saved like good 30-40%. I myself have mix feelings for ATi. I have bad experience with ATi so I would never buy them no more. I stick with Nvidia. ATi core speed is faster than Nvidia but then Nvidia always kicks its ass in the end.

ATi is great for gaming. But Nvidia is also. If its your first time with ATi, don't expect much from their video drivers. It's a lot of hassle just try to get it running correctly.
