First of all, this is just stupid arguing about how much RAM windows 98 and ME consumed. Yes, Windows is a bad RAM hog these days. It uses 300MB of my 1GB, but if you remember, Windows 95 could "run" in only 4MB of RAM, and Windows 98 could "run" in only 8MB of RAM. Nvidia Fan Boy, can you do anything but argue? Second, about XT being an overclocked Pro. That is not the case with the X800. The X800 Pro has 12-pipes which totally cripples it. The XT can actually compete with and beat the 6800 series on several occasions. The X800 Pro, although just as expensive as the 6800GT, isn't that much more poweful than a 9800 XT. Although the Pro does an awesome job with HL2, Doom 3 SUCKS on it. Be prepared to play with Medium settings and no AA and no AF with an X800 Pro, thats if you want more than 25 fps during intense times.
