as you can see one is much higher priced with more options.
but is the lower priced one still a good card?

It's a lite version vs full retial, so the cheap one is better...same performance and features, less bundled software, better price. Only X1900XT card I would personally consider over the $325 X1900Xt is the His Ice Q for $365 AR. But that's $40 more for a arctic cooler and a couple games.

hey will this thing bottleneck?
i have an athlon 64 3200+
my motherboard has a built in overclock program, it gets it to 2.4 but lowers my ram to 166 so to me that's not worth it.

Your CPU should be more than enough for most current games.

Very much a bottleneck actually. However your not going to find much in single core that doesnt hold back your GPU....so its not like you have much to worry about.
