The 800XL (faster and cheaper than the X800 Pro) is supposed to be
available in AGP in March. I also heard the XL (PCI-E) is avaiable
now...

BTW, I saw CompUSA had a bunch of 800 Pros for $254.

I just went to play a WMV9 video and suprise, it doesnt work on this POS
6800s Video Processor (the box clearly states wmv accell). Nvidia is still
the same bunch of morons they were when they came out with the riva128 7-8
yrs ago.

$254 eh? Going to check it out now.
