Nice price.
Newegg also has the 512MB version (built by ATI) for $289.99 after $50 MIR. ALSO comes with the retail DVD version of Oblivion (~$40 value). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102624

About the same amount of difference there is between the 6800Ultra and the 7800GTX.......

I'd say more than that, with the X1800XT you get SM3 and HDR support.

Very tempting. I also liked one of the user reviews:

Pros: Push into PCI-E slot to install...

Cons: ...has to stay in PCI-E slot, can't be my new wife. Over 50% fan speed, it is almost as loud as my wife.

LOL! That is awesome.

What type of warranty do these cards have anyways. 1 year?
