X800XL to replace my x1600Pro

I'm currently using an HIS X1600 PRO 256 MB PCI-EX in my computer.
Thinking of getting an HIS X800XL instead, because of the X800XL's price
drop, $131.99 after rebate.
How do people like their X800XL card?

I have one but I just upgraded to a 7900GT KO. X800XL 3DMark05 gave me 5031
and 7900GT KO gives me 8406. This on an AMD64 3500+@2.4ghz. Download
3DMark05 and post the score for the X1600 and also the cpu you use.

An X800XL likely won't be fast enough at this point. No point in getting it
when X850XT can be had for $160, no rebates required:
