being ended doesn't mean they will sold it at 6600's prices right? -_-

no

it means they will probably go UP

er... i don't think so either, it's not like they're rare or anything -_-

btw, why is he banned? xD

7800GTX will give you better performance today & tomorrow.  The 6800U in SLI is irrellevant too, as the 7800GTX can be put into SLI too.

If you got the money, get the 7800GTX as between the 6800U & the X850XT PE the ATI X850XT PE would get my nod.

The 6800U could go up, as they stop production they will get rarer and therefore more expensive by nature.  It could also go down as it is seen as an inferior product now.

I don't think they'll stop production just yet. They'll cut the price down to more budget levels to reflect their inferiousness to the 7xxx. When everyone's moved on to the 7xxx, the 6xxx will be stopped.

Edit: Based on http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=46...d=485026#pid485026, they are stopping the Ultra, but not the other 6800s yet.

yeah

the 6800ultra will be phased out over the next 6-12 months

but still the 7800GTX kills the 6800, so if its top performance for cost you want then get the 7800GTX as its a killer in the fields, and it also overclocks EXTREMELY well
