Microcenter is selling the aiw x800xl for 129 to me cuz they screwed me out of a sale last month.

Should I bite or go for the evga 7600 gt for 149?

I am not a gamer, I just like discrete graphics.

I would say go for the X800XL, simply because it is AIW. Though you're not a gamer, you might become a media enthusiast sometime. besides, watching TV on your comp can turn out fun.

7600gt because it is faster and has pure video>better than avivo imo. Who cares about watching tv on their comp? The AIW cards arent that great anyways, just get a dedicated TV tuner card which will give you better picture.

i would go with the X1800xl simply because thats a good deal and your not a gamer, since the AIW has more multimedia enhancements
