$85 cheaper than next cheapest X1800XT in Aussie. Been dying to upgrade my 6600GT and try an ATI card.

wish i had PCI-E, my 6600GT rly doesn't cut it for my 21" CRT

Well, your next upgrade is gonna be a sweet one though, when you do eventually get it.

I've been thinking of jumping on this deal recently (a few weeks back another store had them for $340), its either this or a sparkle 7900gt @ $399. (I'm currently sitting on an fx5200, think of the performance increase =D). Just gotta decide between those two now....

Yeah I looked at the 7900GT and 7600GT options and decided to try this ATI one for now. The good thing is it will resell very well in 6 months time cause X1800/X1900 will stay exy in Aus for a while yet.

Couldn't imagine you'd be even playing the same games with your new card.
