No, they have the same amount of pixel pipelines. Don't fall victim to marketing.

Regardless the X1900 XT isn't that much better than a X1800 XT. Maybe 10-20%.

The x1900 series is basically a 16 pipe card with some uber enhancements, very similar to the x1800 series, and like wreck said only a little faster

I recently replaced a X850XT with the X1800XT and all I can say is WOW. I let catalyst overclock, set all BF2 vid options to high and let r rip. I have noticed an occasional flicker here and there, no biggy. Will try the 6.5 beta and see how it goes...got my vid card on EBAY...$385 US. Awesome deal...

Retail comes with all the adapters, booklets, and software, etc. The OEM version I think is just the card and the driver disk. The OEM also usually have less of a warranty. Other than that it's the same exact card you get in the retail package.
