Interesting, I just checked and can get it locally for the same price, I wonder how it compares to a 6870, ($40 more)?

Edit: Just did a compare and the 6870 is way ahead:

I might do a compare between my 4850 and the 6870 just for fun!

Only a little faster!!

So far this seems the way to go! the 1024mb with XP pro is a worry though, I also better check to see if it will run ok in a PCIe X16 slot!

Thanks for starting the ball rolling FIREWALL.
