uh, why is the article icon a Dell Inspiron 700m???

Ah, poor ATI . . .

Really though, this is the market segment that typically is the bulk of sales, and if ATI can't keep up with nVidia on this one, it will be interesting to see if the new x800 XL and Co can offset the $200 segment.

did anyone else stop reading after the head to head with the 6600GT?.... i just assumed everything else was just superfluous details.

The icon should be fixed -- I'm not sure what happened there :-)

All I have to say is that NVIDIA's 6600 solutions are to get for mid-range setups.

Bang for the buck especially in the mid range.

If ati priced the x700 accordingly and had some cards to sell, I'd consider it. Cripes I'm waiting for the 9800 pro to come down to $150 US to the 6600 GT's $200. I'd then go for the 9800 pro.

I assume that the ATI cards should be considered identical to the Powercolor cards because of same look?

can anyone tell me why ati's open GL drivers continue to suck? when are they ever going to catch up to nvidia in this regard?

What I'd like to see is the $149 non-PRO non-XT X700, which is also non-existant.

"For those out there who are die-hard ATI fans and absolutely need to have an X700 Pro solution, we can recommend that you simply head out and find the cheapest X700 Pro available."

I do a better one, buy the basic X700, only 25Mhz lower clock and 150Mhz memory, and over clock it. And save 50$.

One thing must be pointed out, if X700 Pro is worst over 6600GT, "regular" X700 is better over "regular" 6600.

#9 My point answer your question or doubt?
