There seems to be a HUGE step in price going from radeon 8500/9100 to 
FireGL 8800 ($60-70 vs $350-400) - is there a corresponding 
performance/functionality step, or would I be paying a sharply higher 
price for slightly better performance?

Also, I seem to remember some discussions about the danger of buying an 
ATI card that was not actually "made by ATI", what is the guideline - 
only buy official ATI cards, stay away from 3rd party cards using ATI 
chipset?
