In the low 200's I think the ATI X1800 gets the nod...

on the ATI side for PCI-e either the X850 lineup or the X1800GTO on the green team 6800GS or 7800GS

Yeah, I checked NewEgg last night, low 200's for a X1800XL or mid 200's for X1800XT (OEM Sapphire models - PCI Express...), below 200 for X1800GTOs. I was surprised too!
