So tempting ... wait for R600 or take the X1950 Pro 512mb deal

[Lupine]

Found a deal through Best Buy Business that would get me an Asus x1950 Pro 512mb for $175 shipped. I've been saving up for R600 for-freaking-ever and this is the most tempting thing I've found. What to do, what to do. :(

Still thinking about this, Lupy? It's not a bad deal by any means, but given the choice, I'd buy an X1900 XT 256MB for ~$200 instead. Despite the smaller framebuffer, the significantly faster GPU of the X1900 XT helps it to outperform the X1950 Pro in every gaming scenario I've seen thus far, including high res + high AA scenarios.
