Another question: Considering my 22 widescreen and high resolution demands, will the 256mb 256bit HD3850 still outperform the 512mb 256bit x1950pro and 512mb 512bit HD2900

The reason I ask is that the "graphics card rankings" thread suggests the HD2900pro with 512mb is ranked higher than the HD3850 with 256mb, and Ive heard before that more video card memory and higher memory bitrate result in better fps at high widescreen resolutions. Im guessing that the 3850 with 256mb 256bit is better none the less?
its $144.99 after an MIR, but thats BS, at stock the hd2900pro and the hd3850 are at are about the same speeds (like the performance at the 8800gts 320mb) but the only reason that the hd2900pro is ranked higher, is because there is a mod that can increase it to XT speeds
but who cares if it performs better because the hd2900pro and the hd3850's difference will be so llitle, and you'd wouldn't notice because as long as its playable FPS

Its $159 without MIR. About the difference in performance, if I can find them for the same price then I want to get the one with slightly better performance, no matter how slight.
Other Thoughts: Hey this website is lying to you. I love NEWEGG but look at the pics. This is the 256bit version and NEWEGG is marketing this as the 512bit version
Cons: Site had this listed as a 512-bit but its 256-bit... Was a pain to get this to run on winXP. For once, using the included CD to install a gfx card was usefull.
Pros: This is a 512meg and a 256bit card it is hudge like 10" long and 1 1/2" wide it has over clocking abilities in the software or you can do an auto overclock. This thing is fast.
Cons: You cannot flash this one to an XT because of the 256 bit bus v.s. the XT's 512 bit bus.
