Interesting comparison between the 6800 and the X800, even though I didn't
understand much, as I'm not fluent in spanish (?).
I like the looks of th R430/X800 board more, as it occupies only one slot
and needs only one molex connector for power, unlike the 6800 that takes up
2 Slots with it's beefy heatsing and needs two power connections.
The image quality seems pretty good on both boards, altough I seem to like
FSAA quality on the X800 more, even though the 6800 seems to be very close.
Performance is interesting, sometimes one pulls ahead, sometimes the other.
I guess it'll all come down to retail price and the games I play to
determine which one I'd get.
