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.

[atiVidia]

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

I beg to differ.

Flashing the 9800 Pro&#39;s BIOS and Softmodding it to an XT, can be done.

for starters that&#39;s OEM plus it&#39;s in US bills.

I bought it on friday(last day for sale) it was either this or
9600XT for 50 less.

I think I made the right choice. ;)

Don&#39;t see what&#39;s wrong with OEM....I get all of my parts OEM.....well most of them. Not processor/motherboard.

It&#39;s good sometimes but its reassuring to know that ur not buying pulls/refurbished/not meant for retail items.

It&#39;s just something about having the original box. The 14day return policy doesn&#39;t
hurt either. :D
