Well my x800xl just died. I am looking for a replacement with the same or little better performance. I still want to stay with a ATI GPU. Any sugestions?

I was looking at the hd2400 and hd 2600 but I understand there is no drivers for the cards?

What do you all recomend.

I have an HD 2600 and there are definately drivers.

I like the cardf, but I haven't stressed it much.

I can't recommend the 2400 I think that is mostly for OEM's looking for a step above the Intel IGP 3100x and really doesn't have much capability.

the last one is ninety bucks and it has the fastest clock. but much slower memory gddr2. but i would recommand either the first or the second one since those are the only two with 256bit memory. last one has only 128bit

forget the last one, sorry about that. it is 3650, not 3850

What about all the driver issues. I keep hearing they are no drivers for it from ATI?

The drivers are there i beleive you are refering to a known issue with the 2600 AGP cards, There are special Hotfix drivers for them here http://support.ati.com/ics/support [...] nID=31542.

If you can list your full system specs and please include PSU/Watts/make /Model. If you know the Amps on the +12Volt rail it would help but not essential.
Then we can get back to yuo with some suitable sugestions.
