ok I have AGp and don't wanna upgrade until college (2 years off). I want somthing that can easily handle everything now and handle stuff to come. The reason why I pull the x1600 pro in is because it has 512 of onboard ram. Can someone please tell me why or how a x850xt Pe is better, because I found the x1600 from ATI for $250. Is the x1600 even really a "gaming" card or just for pure visuals and not so much for fast paste gaming performance?

x850xt has 16 pipes, the x1600 has 12, the x850xt is better hands down.

the extra 256mb will do crap for you on the x1600.

The x850xt will outperform it by a lot.
