Hello 7800GT
Well, it appears nVidia is continuing to own ATI with the release of the 7800GT. With 20pp and 7vs it beats the X850XT PE and costs 50 bucks less. Although, if you're paying 420 bucks for a graphics card, why not shell out another 80 bucks for the 7800GTX? Anyways, this looks like an awesome card and I think ATI needs to get moving real soon or they are just gonna be lost at least a generation behind..

You can live with just one kidney, and wig shops buy real human hair.

And last I heard fertility clinics pay good rates

Where, please provide links. Yea, AGP is soo much cheaper but the PCI is the one you need to compare. Here's what I was looking at: X850XT PE PCIeX and the AGP, and finally the 7800GT, which has dropped 20 since yesterday and will probably hit 370 soon.
