Re: What graphics card?
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/X800_Pro.html

The price-comparable ATI is the MSI ATI Radeon X800 SE 256MB DDR3 TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - Retail (GX-046-MS)
Looked at the specifications, and I can't see what makes it "SE" - unless they've just cut and pasted one spec - "SE" is normally a "weak and weedy" version, minus some clock speed, memory bandwidth or both
AGp is essentially a dead platform now, so I'd be more inclided to consider a slightly less "bleeding edge" card and something else, like a DVD writer if you don't already have one.


You can't compare clockspeeds directly, so now it's time to hit the review sites

- covers some, but not the exact models X800 Pro is there, so at best, the SE would be the same if it has not been "lited" in any way.

Also gives an ide just how much more powerful these beasts are, than the former top of the range that slips to much more reasonable prices.
