Hey guys,

I need something to replace my Radeon 7000 that I bought when a power outage fried my 9500 Pro. I think I want to stick to ATI, but maybe you can convince me otherwise. I have been looking at the Sapphire X1600 Pro 256MB and a Sapphire (or maybe Powercolor?) X800 GTO 256MB. I know the X1600 will have the support for the newer shader software and whatever, but how does it compare to the X800 GTO in gaming? I've read a nice mix of reviews on the X1600 Pro, leaving me with no clear conclusion.

The X1600 Pro can be had for about $100-$115 and the X800 GTO can be found for around $150. Just want to hear your guys' opinions on these two, or any other options in this price range. Gotta stay with AGP... I already priced out a new computer that I want, but it looks like that won't be possible in the near future. Thanks a lot guys, and again, I am open to other suggestions.
