    good video card?

    Hey what's a good video card for your dollar. The X800 XL is on sale at FS for 299cad, and on ebay I can get the X850 XT for 350. I know there's the platinum edition which is expensive, but for about 300-350 canadian what's a good card?

          Well PCI Express is the new fad, AGP will get dropped and replaced by PCI Express... more memory bandwidth, possibility to use 2 video cards (nvidia is SLi, ATI is cross fire), less latency...
