ATI Radeon PixelPipelines or Speed?

[LXIX]

Is it better to have a higher pixel pipeline count. Or to have a faster Memory clock and Core clock speeds. This is my example as i am trying to decide which card to buy.

Please help me decide before my head explodes. Feedback would greatly be appreciated.

Actually my dyslexia is horrible and i misread the specs. The speeds on the XT are just below the ones on the PRO, nothing that OC can't fix. And i figured out the speed/graphics thing and which is more viable to have.

So, your user handle is really, like, LIXX?

The XT is GDDR3
The Pro is GDDR2
Why put yourself behind the 8 ball from the start? Whatever we get now will be replaced with something newer and better in 6-12 months anyway.
