selway89: no, for the upgrading part. x1800xt might be upgrade worthy but not so much for speed gain. Just wait for cheap hd2900 version or go for 8800gts 320mb. Still bechies do the talking once they are out. In my opinion no GPU without extra pci-e power is worthy of upgrade, you will run out of juice if you overclock. The ones that are fast enough already (like your card) do have it
