whats the best brand of x800xl, i looked at powercolor ( power connector) but read the there is no power issue. i just want the best x800xl, based on company and espically overclocking and best cooling thanks a lot 😛
i mostly play cs and hl2/source so yea
 
PowerColor...

The power connector will give you extra juice so you can O/C more and you've got Dual-DVI and a lovely VIVO along with Compontent, S-Video, Composite cables... 🙂
 
I'm planning on returning my ATI x800xl for the Powercolor. It's now down to $354 at newegg.com. I read a review on the Powercolor where the reviewers didn't believe you needed to use the power connector but they found out the card would not work without it plugged in. Not sure if it uses more juice than the reference ATI board.

One reason for that is because powercolor uses 1.6ns ram instead of 2.0ns
