HOT! - Radeon X850PRO AGP (new with warranty) for $139.00

The two we were looking at are in most cases slightly better than the 6800GT which is better than a plain 6800. 6800 also comes in both PCI Express and AGP slots so be sure you are looking at one that will fit your computer.

Card is here already- it came a couple of days ago but I was not home when the delivery driver came. I just installed it and tried 3D Marks 2003. My score with my Radeon 9700 non pro was about 4500 and now it is 8750! That is with the drivers it came with. I haven't tried any newer ones yet- most of the newer drivers are optimized for PCI Express so that may not help anyways. Also tried some Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and was able to turn up the effects more. Looks great! A nice upgrade for $120. Thanks for the tip! And yes, the code 1439 is good for an extra 5% off at the ATI online store on purchases over $99 excluding tax and shipping.

I also got my new 300gb harddrive installed as a slave.
