he only got 3 stars, uc? :D
I hate that. Why would he want to take a CHANCE that it might be able to get a better card...I would just get the 9600XT..very good card.Quote:

3) the 9800se can be softmodded to 9800pro speed but u need to buy one of the 9800se All In Wonder versions ive been told then the chances are supposed to be bout 60-70% for the softmod
Stars don't mean anything. :PQuote:

the 9800se is as good a card as the 9600xt plus u get the chance that u can soft mod it
no its not the 9600XT is like 175Mhz faster core and 100Mhz faster Memory.
from that statement u must think that a 9600xt is a better card than a 9800pro
well the 9800 Pro has faster memory but slower core..I know its about more then that but I would just figure the SE, being cheaper then the 9600XT, would have been stripped of any special features and runs slow.
the 9800se runs at the same clock speed and same memory speed as a 9800pro....it also uses the same core...but instead of the usual 8 pipelines which a 9800pro has they have shut down 4 of them and sell it as a 9800se....with a softmod 60-70% of these 9800se aiw cards can have the xtra 4 pipelines opened up again which means u have a 9800pro....even if u dont u still get a card that is about equal with a 9600xt except u get the benefits of the all in wonder xtras
Ok...the 9800 SE does not run as fast as a 9800PRO or as fast as a 9600XT damn...look at the specs. I cant even find an ATI 9800SE All In Wonder.
Couple things.
About the SE. You know, theres a reason its a hell of alot less than a regular 9800......
A 9600 AIW is about 200 on newegg, a 9600 regular is roughly 135, all of which will run halo FINE.
About the memory. Its a fine memory company (kingston) however, I would suggest going for 400Mhz (3200) ddr-Ram to overclock alot more. Look at their 3200 Geil Ram, which is usually about 85 bucks, give or take a few. I am using it, and it got me to the specs in my sig, EASY.
About the case: Save yourself 50 dollars and go with the asipre Dreamer cases. They are great value, u get 3 fans with grills, and they are LED. You also get the window, and a temp sensor on the front I believe. Those actaully look quite cool, and are half the price of ANTEC brand cases.
If you are set on those stupid antec towers, atleast go with the cheiftec brand, u can get a windowed one, for about 75, and a non window one for about 65.
