Radeon x800xt

Who's lining up to buy it? It's gonna debut pretty steep, but I plan to get one. Anyone else?

Doesn't fit my budget at all, maybe next year when they halve the price.

I'm satisfied with the x800 Pro... which I heard can be modded into the XT.

I recently got my 9800 Pro about a month ago, upgraded from a Geforce2 MX, so that tells you how long I wait until I upgrade. lol

I will have my new system built by July. and I already have the ATI 9800XT. All I need now is the Processor, Monitor, Keyboard and mouse. The X800XT would be a great card, and if it came out about 6 weeks ago I would have that instead.

im still considering the 6800 also, im waiting to see some benchmarks for the two. Also since I have a 9800 Pro ill probly just wait for the pc-express cards and build a new system altogether.

I was thinking of waiting for the pci express boards too, but that's not only a video card upgrade, but a motherboard upgrade as well and I can't afford that.

Upgrading soon to a AMD 64 3200 to get the most out of the card
