Apple added the Ati Radeon X850 XT for the Powermac G5 for $400. While they replaced the 6800 Ultra with the 6800 GT for $400. Both are in the BTO list.

Nice!

Interesting that the X850XT costs the same as the 6800GT... given the specifications:

Memory Bandwidth
X850XT: 34.6 GB/s
6800GT: 32 GB/s

Fill Rate
X850XT: 8 billion textured pixels/s
6800GT: 5.6 billion textured pixels/s

Connectors
X850XT: One dual-link DVI, one ADC
6800GT: Two dual-link DVI

Cooling
X850XT: One slot
6800GT: Two slots

Looks like the X850XT is better in every way.
