Videocard prices aren't gonna fall as much as people are hoping. The *only* reason Radeon 9800 Pros are so cheap now is because there's a 128 MB version. There is NO 128 MB GeForce FX 5900 Ultra (only 256 MB). They simply won't fall to anywhere near as competitive as a 128 MB 9800 Pro. Prices will fall, but it's not gonna be anything major.
That said, I'd still do what the other guys mentioned and get a Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro for $200 instead. Way, way better than a 5900 XT. One point of interest: the 5900XT is worse than the 5900 non-ultra. It would be better than a 5600, but nothing compared to a 9800 Pro.
