    Hi, just built myself an awesome system.
    All its lacking is a decent graphics card.
    I've currently got a radeon X300 installed but want a X800 or X850.
    Wanna stay with an ATI cos had problems before with nvidia cards.
    Is there really much difference between the X800 or X850?
    There was a handy price drop in the X800s recently due to the arrival of X850. But i feel if i spend so much on an X800 i'll regret not spending a little more on the X850. Or is it just a waste of money.
    I myself can't see much diff between the X800pro and X850xt..

    X800XL is the one to go for at the moment as far as I can tell. Theres not that much of a performance boost in going up to an X800XT or X850.
    There is however a pretty big difference between the X800pro and X800xt. Pro only has 12 pipelines, where the xt and xl have 16.
