Hi all!
Im buying a new graphics card to replace my old 9800xt but im torn between the x800 xt pe or 6800 ultra, what should i buy? Ive noticed in terms of fps they are pretty much the same except in their supported games, doom3 better on geforce and halflife 2 better on radeon. What really bothers me is which one will last longer (more future proof) , the ultra has shader modal 3 support whilst the xt pe has the 3dc texture feature. Im so confused and just dont know what to get :bucky!: . Well money isnt an object as I can afford both so please reply back with answers of why u think I should get the graphics card u mention. Also will the other components of my pc be-able to handle these beasts fully or will I have to upgrade somethin? Heres my spec below:

3ghz p4 800fsb, 1mb of cache
1gb ddr400 ram
460 watt Akasa psu
dell motherboard with 8x agp slot
120gb 7200rpm 8mb cache harddrive

Well thanks for your help!
