I want to get an ATI X800XL AGP but the dicks are charging $50.00 CAD
more for the AGP version than the PCI-E version just because they want
to try and force us to convert to PCI-E. I'm not spending $200.00 on a
mb just to get PCI-E when it will give me zero gain and I'm not
spending $50.00 more for the AGP version for zero gain either. This is
the kind of BS malarky that will force me to go back to Nvidia.

It's not a good price, you can get it for $50.00 less at Tiger driect
and even that is still $41.00 more than the PCI-E version.

Yes, I misread it. $399 is good.

$399Cdn.

Oops, my mistake. I saw the $499.00 price tag but didn't see it was
discounted to $399.99. Maybe I'll order one. But FS saying it is
$100.00 off is a bit lisleading because that card doesn't go for
$499.99. It's really $50 off.

Looks like you realized your error. Anyway, "good price" is all relative.
$400 CAD is still a shitload of money for a video card, even if it's
significantly faster than a 9800 Pro.

Yea, but I paid $550.00 for my 9800pro when it came out so $400.00 is
decent enough for the X800XL. Right now though it looks like investing
in a new set of speakers is on the priority list as I blew the amp on
my Monsoon speakers the other night and the fuse looks fine so it is
the actual amp that is gone. That means I'm off to buy a pair of
Klipsch Promedia 2.1's which are not exactly cheap so the vid card
upgrade will have to wait a while. The fuse *should* have blown before
the amp but I can see nothing wrong with the fuse, may try a new fuse
anyway.

I would try the fuse first as they can look good and be out.

Yea, I thought of that but Radioshack was closed today where I live so
I went and bought a pair of Promedia 2.1's anyway. I'm using the
satellites from the blown amp on my other Monsoon amp as that set had
a bad right channel speaker so this way works better all around in the
end. I will try a new fuse though as that amp/sub was better than the
other one.

The Klipsch speakers are definitely worth the money... if your neighbors
don't mind. :)
