Answer 1

well, which X line?
there are two ATI X lines (and four lines altogether to speak of):
9- line, from 9-000 mobility to 9-800
X- line, from X-100 (mobility, only, i think) to X-850
X1-line, from X1-050 to X1-950; that's the line the X1-300 is part of, indeed.
X2-line, currently only X2-900 is available but 400 & 600 are announced

what is what?

the 9- line is more or less retired but some professional cards (FireGL) still use the chip and thus some OEM pc builder (Packard Bell aso.) might still get their greedy hands on some consumer versions (mostly 9-250s or 9-550s)

the X-line: same as 9-line, but the choice of cards you might come across is somewhat richer (X-300s, mostly, some X-550s, as well)

the X1-line (that's the one the X1-300 part of)
ATI's most common line of products, currently, but *NOT* DX10 (thus vista) compliant;

the X2-line is fully M$-vista compliant, thus supporting DX10;
unfortunately the only product available right now is the X2-900(XT) which is pretty much the top of the line
X2-400 and X2-600 are announced but not yet available;
if you want a card for M$-vista, you should wait for the X2-400, which will be the entry level gamer card for the X2-line, just like the X1-300 is the gamer entry level card now (for DX9 / XP)

final comment over DX10 vs. DX9: as opposed to the step from DX8 to DX9, which was an improvement of the existing design, DX10 is completely new and requires a completely different hardware design (which is the reason why ATI took so long to come out w/ the X2-line); even though DX9 games (and thus cards) are supported under vista, if you haven't bought the X1-300 yet you may want to wait a couple more weeks and get yourself a X2-400.
