Good deal but I don't trust MSI's video card quality anymore after having bought one of their 6600GT cards that had a "copper" heatsink. And by copper I mean copper *painted* aluminum heat sink. I eventually had to replace it with a Zalman VF700-Cu cooler.

No catch, but you can buy a 256mb X1800XT for the same price that will spank it. The 512mb X1800XT is not much more........

this is nice, very nice.
edit: get an after market cooler, do an ultra OC on the card and you will get XT speeds with a 512mb of DDR3 for less than the XT256meg card. hot stuff, terribly hot.
benchmarks show the XL machtes the XT very closely anyway, so why grab the XT when you could get even more for less?

You eventually had to replace the heatsink because it wasn't copper?
