They should of just called it the X800XT PE LE (Limited Edition) or better yet, the X800XT PE NA (Not Available) lol.

nolt said:in its latest strategic move to sidestep the mountain of underpriced preorders stacked against itself, gateway has now begun to tell preorder holders that ati is discontinuing production of the x800 xt pe.
for those of you desperately clinging to the prospect of getting an xt pe for the price of a pro your ill fated hopes are being systematically reeled from your clutches.
few people still keeping their preorder with gateway open really expect to get the card from them at this point, but i thought this latest development was amusing.
thongaxp said:actually they only sell the PCi-e ones. I actually have 2 of them which we got thru dell in a couple of new systems. Our dell account manager stated that they wouldn;t have AGP ones as they have a special deal with ATI for the X800XT PCIe cards.

They are going to sell through their current chips and a new model is coming out. Best Buy can also confirm that the X800Xt PE is discontinued. My conversations with ATI also lead down this path.
