About the price of a X1800 XL.

It was on sale for Halloween. Right now it's the highest-end ATI card you can buy (but that'll change in a couple of weeks when the X1800 XT comes out).

I'm still chugging away with my FX5700 256mb. I'll be upgrading within the year. Hopefully the whole system will undergo an upgrade, not just the video card.

NoESC--the X1800XL Crossfire will probably kick the 7800GT SLi's ***, from what I can tell in benchmarks. Crossfire seems to go over a lot better than SLi in general.

Saphire Radeon 9600 Pro. It has been a superb budget card, and one of the few components that hasn't failed on me :mad:
