Page 1 of Radeon X800XT 256MB PCI-E DVI VIVO (£46.98 from dabs.com)

None in stock but might be worth a punt:

Seems to be around the £400 mark in other places.

is defo a bargain,
but it is pci-e
is this pci express, and is this compatable with pci???

That`s gotta be a mistake, those cards should be retailing for around the £300 mark...so I doubt they (Dabs) would honour it, especially since none are in stock.

KatZ, PCI-Express is the next-gen interface slot (only just being introduced really) and its unfortunately not backwardly compatible...shame really.

Apparently it`s much faster than AGP currently can handle, and worth the upgrade...even if you do have to upgrade your motherboard & graphics card to take advantage! :)

Yup - huge pricing error for a bleeding edge card, and has now been removed from their site.

Good luck at getting one !

What im listening to (if youre interested)

That`s still not a bad deal actually. Bloody hell, you get a near-top of the range X800XT for £280 - You`d still make a profit on Ebay with that, or have a great card because most X800XTs are still retailing nearer £350.

Don`t forget that you need a PCI Express motherboard to use it though...
