as a general rule ati carfs marked xt are faster then cards marked as pro. is this for a windows vista based system?

At the moment the primary purpose of it is for the new generation games, crysis, CoD etc. Vista at the moment isnt in the near future but it's a possibility.

2600 XT is the better/faster.
