Well, I was going to get an x850, but they have discontinued the PCI-E versions. I've been keeping an eye on Tom's Hardware VGA charts and the best of video cards. Believe me, I do all kinds of research when I do a vid card upgrade. But the x1900GT is the best out of the 3 mentioned in here, plus it was ~$5 more expensive than the x1600s.

And I don't have intel, and probably won't have intel ever.
