I believe this was a typo in a product list at ONE site. Then the site started whining about the "unavailability" of the non-existant typo product a short while later, making it even worse. Typical of how ATI gets treated by the media these days.

AFAIK it doesn't exist and never did. And if you think about it it makes absolutely no sense from a product standpoint anyway, either from a price perspective, or the fact the X1800's are being discontinued.
