Also, look at this
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-164-034&depa=1
It has dual dvi, an external power connector, an x800xl heat sink, but it says that its an x800 vanilla? Just the wrong picture or what?

I'm torn on this scenario too, I want either an x800pro or x800xl, but I don't know what I want! Maybe the XL's with the external power connector / vivos overclock better?

that card is a vinalla. it has onlt 12pp and 700mhz memory clock.

Really?
Oh, with that link, I was just curious because the picture threw me off...
Do you have a link about the sapphires and BBAs not softmodding? The report or whatever?

Everyone is talking about unlocking the pro to equal the XL, but what about a OC'd XL vs. the overclocked pro? My money's on the XL.
