the X800 pro is a decent card, I think either card you get will serve you well.

no it wont, he needs a pci-e card buddy and the only x800pro pci-e card is very expensive more than xt. 6800gt is better than x800pro too.
 
Actually that's not a bad price on the X800Pro PCIe, a regular AGP ViVO one would cost about the same. The reason nVidia PCIe cards are so expensive right now is cuz of NF4.

Often times, when I'm working on a computer, I think to myself, "man, I need to brush my hair".
No need to feel ashamed.
