I ended up selling the first comp I built about 1 month ago to my friend who was in love with it. I ended up making a bit of a profit....I've already ordered the Sapphire X850XT, and have a nive nForce 4 mobo awaiting it. My next computer will basically be the same, but I decided to change my card to that series.

It's the first 'double-decker' card from ATi. It's fan takes up an additional slot like the Nvidia ones.

Must...Have...PCI-E Slots....

No, not really another SLOT, just the space. It takes only one PCI-e x16 slot, but it takes the space of two add in cards. One space and slot for the actual card and it's components, and one space for the 'leaf blower' fan. Surprisingly, it's very quiet.

So it's not like you need dual PCI-e slots, just one slot and two open spaces.

Actually, I'm in high school, in honors classes, run cross country and track, play bass in a band, work at a local elderly health center once a week, and have applied for an internship this summer. Yes, despite being on these forums a lot, I do NOTHING.

What do you do for the world that you can justify walking around judging people?

It's not a whole lot faster than the X800, takes up two slots, and costs more. I'd wait for the true next gen cards/

Old news. Yes it's the best card in the world, yes it's also the most stupidly high-priced card in the world. PCI-E, faster than it needs to be.

Think about it, the X800 (even the 9800 in some cases) can run just about anything at 1280x1024 on max settings. If you'd rather pay an extra couple of hundred dollars for 5-10% extra performance or framerate then that's up to you.

Woah man I wouldn't put my age on the internet if I were 13...There's lots of whackoes out there. Anyway. I'm not super lazy but work is something that I don't like to do.
I play *1st* tenor sax at my school and I'm taking advanced classes and I manage to get around a 3.5 or higher I also play soccer. And I babysit? Yeah so I guess I am pretty lazy. But not too much.

I'm still confused about that card though. How does it take up two slots or whatever? Is it really big? Cuz my PCI-E slot is right next to the other PCI slots and my X700 Pro is like two millimeters apart from my wireless card. I doubt I could actually fit an X850 XT...

Okay, the X850XT needs one PCI-e slot, like all other cards on the market. However, it needs extra space below it. So, it only plugs into one slot, but needs two spaces, because of it's leaf blower fan.
