Same price. Different cards. I may or may not use some of the AIOW features, but it'll be for gaming first and foremost.

The two cards are focused in different areas. The X1800 XT will be slightly better for gaming. The AIW X1900 offers decent gaming, TV, FM, PVR and comes with PhotoShop Elements and Premiere Elements. IMHO, the AIW X1900 offers a much better value for the money.

Exactly. I'd go with the XT cos watching TV on your PC is crappy.

Since both are 256mb, just get the x1900. The x1800xt is probably slightly faster, but there's nothing that card can handle that the x1900 shouldn't. Sides, doesn't some guy in the hot deals forum say about the x1900aiw that once overclocked, it was faster than his x1800xt 512mb edition?

lol, is that better? Even if the performance isn't as fast but is close, the aiw functions is always nice. I mean even if he doesn't use it now, it's still nice to have it for the future.
