X1900XL - will there be one?

[zo1d]

Hi,
I'm happy to sacrifice some performance in the bid to build a fast gaming system that's as quiet as possible, and therefore thought the X1900XL (when/if it's released) would be a good choice.
However been reading some of the reviews of the X1900 today, and I've not seen any mention of the X1900XL being added to the product line-up, does anyone know if one will be released?

I'm sure Gibbo put a post somewhere stating that there wouldn't be any nore XL's afte the X1800 range - can't remember the reason tho'

Thanks guys,
For anyone else here's the quote from the other post...

Hi there

XL series cards is an unknown m8 as last time I spoke to ATI they were thinking of permantly finishing of that line which would mean no X1900 XL. It was a product due for release in March but now looks like it may never exist.

I have a feeling ATI will release the X1800 XT 256MB varient at very agressive pricing, maybe even not much more than a overclocked 7800 GT cost, but thats just me guessing and if they do it won't me for approx 2-4 weeks time. Though at the moment with X1800 XT's been just £239 +VAT at OcUK who needs to wait for an XL that may never come out with a flagship card so cheap buy now as come this time tomorrow it will be a lot more money.
