It dosent actually mean anything. I beleive that when ATI first started using XT it stood for eXTreme, But you can understand which card is better by the letters after it..

For ATI - Lowest to Highest performance.

SE (Suck Edition)
LE (Light Edition 'See above')
- (Vanilla)
Pro
XT (eXTreme)
XT-PE (eXTreme - Performance Edition)
XTX (eXTremely eXtreme??)

For nVidia - Lowest to Highest performance.

SE
LE
XT
GS
- (Vanilla)
GT
GTX

I dont know where GTO fits in there though.. The XT with nVidia is pretty much exactly the same as the LE.. And I'm not 100% sure that the GS is lesser than a plain 'vanilla' card.
Hope that was helpfull.

GS is better than a plain one.

For example, a 6800GS beats a 6800.

PE means "Platinum Edition"

Yup!

Vanilla does indeed come before a GS/GT/GTX & so on. This naming concept is primarily marketing oriented & even though it can be a little confusing if you are not familiar with the nomenclature, you'll be fine as a mainstream gamer if you always shoot for at least the "Pro" (ATI) or "GT" (Nvidia) cards when looking at what to get.
