A X800XT, however, will be better than the X1600/1650 series because the XT models are 16pipe cards. So if you can find one of those in stock for a low price, you are pretty well off. But these finds are getting VERY rare.

well, the x800GTO has a 256-bit memory interface, and the 1600 has a 128-bit memory interface, so the x800 will most likely perform better overall (and especially at higher resolutions). the x1600 has 4 ROPs and can only do 4 textures per clock, while the x800GTO can do 12 textures per clock and has 12 ROPs. and finally, the x800GTO has one more vertex pipeline than the 1600.

i hope they are not out for good!
anyway, the x1900GT is also a good deal - slightly cut down 1900XT at 199 dollars with no rebates....
Jam it back in, in the dark.
