Should I buy this vid card?

If $200 is your budget you might want to consider the X1950GT or X1950Pro. Newegg sells both, GT is $160 after shipping and the Pro will be $206 after shipping. I don't think the extra $50 for the Pro is justifiable though. Can't imagine it would be 33% faster to adjust for the cost differential. Either should be faster than the X1650 series cards.
