That's it, yes. The XT has more pipes than either the Pro or the GT (16/48 vs 12/36), and should be noticably faster.

ok, Thanks. Probably my last question will be: earilier I mentioned I'm going to be buying a new power supply (Enermax Liberty) will the 400w model be enough? or will I need to go with the 500?

I like this one anyone else?

I believe the x1950xt recommends 450W/30+ amps. So I'd go 500w just to be on the safe side.

(Incidentally, it's a double-width card, while the x1950pro is single width.)

This looks promising.

Yes two slots, altho i would spend a few more $ for a nice aftermarket cooler. The cooler on it looks the same as the x1900xt one and that one has been notorious for being a bit loud in games, in windows it should be ok tho. I do not know if this cooler is any different since the HARDWARE REVIEW COMMUNITY IS DEVOID OF ANY REVIEWS. A situation a lot of ppl are not too happy with at the moment.

400w should be able to provide more than enough juice, as long as you're not borderline overclocking with 2 gigs ram, have a kentsfield or 15 hard drives.
