Default Upgrading??
Ok i was thinking of upgrading my GPU staying agp cause of the Pentium m on the way. But i was wondering what your thoughts are on upgrading from the 6800gt to a x850xtpe. im thinking of seeling my brand new 6800gt and buying a x850xtpe. Also what brand would you go with there are 2 on newegg a visiontek and a saphire the visontek being cheaper at $376 and the shapphire at $414. Think it's better to get the cheaper one or splurge for the extra $40. If you guys can find a good one cheaper that would be nice too. And i don't want to get a x850xt and flash it or anything just gonna bypass that and go for the gold not worried about saving money on that. thanks

http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/simprod.asp?pid=10994&ad=pwatch 394 sapphire and pricewatch has some good deals. If your not going for max benchies id stick with the 6800gt unless you got cash to blow and want the extra 10 fps.

All of the x850xtpe's are basically IDENTICAL to one another, just some of them have different lettering on the cooler.

why not save a little bit more and get the 7800GTX or will the X850XTPE own the 7800GTX?
