What is the difference in these 2 cards?? From what I can tell they are the exact same except one is $100 more and takes up 2 slots. Please help

That would be the difference.

Hint: Buy the cheaper one...

hmm... looks like just the cooler, manufacturer and the price to me. they both use the same memory, have the same connectors and the same core, but it looks like the dual slot has some slightly better cooling compared to the refrence cooler on the ATI card, dont think it is worth the extra $100 though. go for the ATI card.

The ATI brand X850 product does not list the core clock or memory clock speed. The Connect 3D does 500 Mhz core, 1000 memory. I could be wrong, but there could be a difference between the cards as far as the speed.
