hello everyone...........:)
i am looking to get a graphics card for my pc as soon as possible..i have it narrowed down to 2 ati radeon graphics cards, the first one is the ATI Radeon X800 XL (pci-express model) and the second one is ATI Radeon X800 Pro (pci-express model).......so i need to know which card is better for gaming and graphics programs? all the tests i have seen the 800xl is way better......but than why is it only 299.99 while the pro one is more money?

my machine specs are:
3.01Ghz P4 Computer

The x800XL is the new replacement product of the slightly older X800Pro.

It is a better card; the x800XL has a full 16 rendering pipes whereas the x800Pro only has 12.

It's definitely a bang-for-yer-buck card.
