Ehh, sweet. Well, since I'm planning on sticking with Win XP Pro when I build my rig, I'm even wondering if the X1950Pro will still be holding strong at all? I mean, I know that's been giving the edge over the 7950GT for the longest time. However, I'm wondering if the HD 2900Pro would have the better edge in b/c to DX9, even tho it's a DX10 card. Same holds true with the 8800GTS, that leads me to wonder if there's any advantage in performance when it comes to Win XP gaming... I don't plan on going to Vista on my desktop build until I'm forced no other option. I mean, I have Vista here on my laptop, but I'm not really using my laptop as a gaming platform that much.
EDIT: Grrr, now the HD 2900Pro's out of stock. That was a quick seller, and who knows if AMD's gonna make any more of these before the DX10.1 cards are unleashed? Why did I have to bloody miss out on this opportunity?! Well, guess I'm stuck with nVidia whether I like it or not, and I have a P35 mobo, and I really can't do SLI, if it's programmed for Xfire, now can I?
