I can get an X1800XT for $202, or an X1900 AIW $229. The features of an AIW are nice, but not necessary. I'm just wondering which one would you pick?

Also, how do they compare gaming wise?

i'm pretty sure the x1800xt is the better gamer, but the 1900 has the TV tuner.
1800 uses CCC and i believe the AIw uses a different driver..?

At stock, an X1900 AIW performs more like an X1800XL/7800GT, so the X1800XT would be faster. I'd probably take the X1800XT at those prices you've provided, unless you're really going to need those TV tuner features.
