Buy An ATI Radeon x850 Pro Now Or Wait ...

[magis123]

I am in a quandry right now ... I do a little gaming on my PC and currently have a decent video card (ATI Radeon 9800 128 MB), but it hiccups every now and then playing Madden, etc.

So I have been considering picking up an ATI Radeon x850 Pro since Best Buy is running it on special right now for $229, which means it can be had at Circuit City for $222 (plus tax of course).

Here are my System Specs, what does everyone think, would this be a wise purchase? Is this the same x850 that can be unlocked to use the x850XT speeds? Anyone have a link?

Buy if it is a VIVO card ... then it is unlockable and clockable up to XT PE speeds.

Might as well get X850XT for $299 - $50 MIR at microcenter. If you are going to pay $229+ tax, by you ordering x850xt online (not paying tax), you dont have to worry about flashing the card.
