I built a new PC 2 months ago and I had to make a choice: Buy a 2900 XT for $400 or buy 2 X1950 Pro's for $360.I bought the 2 X1950 Pro's for Crossfire because they were cheaper and DX10 is not very impressive yet. In a year or so, when all games are DX10 capable, I will then upgrade to ATI's newest DX10.1 card which will blow away the 2900 XT.
