Been looking for a budget AGP card as an upgrade to my 6200 and these are the two I'm looking at. I haven't been able to find any reviews for the X1600 Pro so, I've come to ask you guys how this card rates vs the 6800XT. Both cards come in at about $130, but on paper the X1600 Pro looks alot better. Any help would be appreciated.

You can find it here.

I'm really thinking this is the card for me but I'd love to see some reviews/benchmaks. So is this better then a 6800XT? Thing is I haven't used an ATI card since the ATI Rage Pro lol.

With the features and@$131+s&h, I'd say it is a good buy overall :thumbsup: Lite box may mean OEM and no bundled goodies though. I'd call and ask about that.

Found it pre-order for $149.99 shipped here and the model number matches 100148. They have it listed as 256bit mem interface so I think they are mixed up with the ring bus, and they don't even have clockspeeds.
