try going to www.tigerdirect.ca and see what teh price is there, $299 sounds like a high amount, could be wrong though.
normally i would go check it for you, but i am downloading and net is going SO SLOOW it would take me like 5 minutes to get to the cost lol.

Get the 9800 Pro.
You can flash and overclock it to a 9800 XT, if you want.You might also want to check and make sure, if it's 256 bit and not 128.
you cannot flash it :)
OC, yes. not flash. the two cards are different in the way the circuitry works (onboard) and flashing a 9800pro to be an XT will kill your board...
just wait for a few months and get the x800xt at 399 usd

Flashing the 9800 Pro's BIOS and Softmodding it to an XT, can be done.
Read this.
