Its the x850xt pe 256 meg. I was gonna do the pci-e route but im sticking with the agp side to save the cash. A 64 bit upgrade isnt gonna happen till its absolutely necessary. So till Vista comes out....I am not touching a thing. Plus my system is pretty good so far.

Plus I got a better deal on this card due to my debacle with the GTO2 issues I dealt with so much a couple weeks ago.

What do you guys think of this card. Should it be good for OC'ing?

Edit: We'll just have to see if this guy will OC enough to match the output of the GTO2. Considering I spent more to get the gto2 setup and all this just might be what im looking for sure.

Yeah that's a sick card! With that 2 slot cooling you should be able to overclock it plenty, my buddy runs his 800XT at stock and it runs everything at around 60fps+ at 1280x1024.

Sweet...was kinda concerned. Also does anyone know what the hell Vivo is? Cant get an explaination anywhere. Call me lazy but a quick and simple explain would be mighty nice.

VI/VO = Video In/Video Out. It allows you to connect certain electronics to your video card to record video and save it on the computer and/or take video from the computer and see it on a TV or projector. Very useful if you record video of your console gaming sessions like I do (I use the VIVO on my 9200 to record my time attacks on Forza Motorsport).

Ahh sweet. I like that recording capability.

From the reviews it seems this card runs really really hot when oc'ed and doesnt go much but hey...1.2 gig max on the memory chips is the specs. Just have to see. I'll put a case fan in front of the card to hopefully cool it down some.
