If the X1800 XT is not enough of a video card for a person, then maybe the one that is going to replace it will do? The R580 is coming soon, atleast that is what some sites are saying.

According to DigiTimes sources, ATI is wrapping up development on the successor to today’s RADEON X1800 XT, codenamed R580. The new chip is in the final stages of testing and is now in volume shipments for sampling

I think ATI has lost its footing a bit lately, and I think the R580 might help them get it back, but they really need to work on speeding up the process of getting the chips to vendors to put cards together or nVidia will completly dominate them for a few generations.
