I know one is OEM. But between the other two, what's the difference?

One doesn't come with the manual??? Only real difference I could find.

I think one is crossfire compatable and the other isn't. The only other thing I could find was "ring bus memory controller" on the one that costs $219.

All X1800XT's are crossfire compatible, and they all also have the same memory controller. These cards are the same, just different packaging.

why would saphire ever do that? And why is one $10 more than the other?
