Online still wans't working for me so I called them up and ordered it (the X800 XL). It is refurbished but has a one year warranty. I figure getting it from the manufacturer is pretty safe. They quoted me no sales tax and free shipping! Great deal on an AGP card. Most places are still close to the $300 list price and it is very comparable to the 6800 GT in performance (beats it sometimes, gets beat on some like Doom). It has a slower clock than the X850 Pro but more pipelines so it is more efficient and a bit faster- not to mention $20 cheaper here! Next time I upgrade will probably require a new system to change to PCI Express though. At least I can still get some mileage from my XP 2400 system for a while. This will replace my 9700 non pro. Thanks for the heads up on the site!
