I just got a new CPU and the graphics card in it is an ATI Radeon X1600. I was just wondering how high that is on the totem poll of graphics cards. And if there are any suggestions for graphics cards that are $499 or less.
$499? Thats it? Heh, you can get an 8800GTS for less than $400, and thats the second best card you can currently get. The X1600 isn't a great card, but you could do a lot worse.
Are laptops with PCI-Express slots upgradeable, or are the cards soldered in? Im sticking with my X1700 for a good while, but Im wondering for the future.

I believe some laptop graphics cards (the high-end ones) have the ability to be swapped out, but the majority of laptops have their graphics chips attached to the motherboard.
I bought my 8800gts 640mb for 600 USD because that's how much they cost when they were just released in New Zealand :(ElectricNZ
At least you got the XFX 8800GTS, XFX are probably the best ones to get. I'll be getting the 320mb XFX card in a few weeks :D, I can't wait. It sure beats my old GeForce 4 lol.
