The X1600 XT sat near the top of the video card pack fairly recently, and has fallen to the point where you can buy one for less than $200.  Drop by [H] for a look at how the new PowerColor Radeon X1600 XT BRAVO performs.
“The default GPU clock speed for the PowerColor Radeon X1600 XT BRAVO is set at 590 MHz and the 256MB of 128-bit GDDR3 memory is running at 693 MHz (1386 MHz effectively). These are the ATI suggested clock speeds for a Radeon X1600 XT. As an added bonus the PowerColor Radeon X1600 XT BRAVO includes video-in/video-out (VIVO) functionality with the Rage Theater chip. ATI’s current driver allows the video card to encode and decode video on the card which frees up your CPU to do other tasks.

PowerColor’s Radeon X1600 XT BRAVO is listed on Newegg at an amazingly low price of $139.99 currently.”
