To be honest I have a ATI 9700 pro and paid a lot more than $129.00 when I got it . I'd search the net and see what people say about the two . One has 256mb memory but that can be deceiving depending on how its structured .
All in all a budget card these days which is quite funny cause I'm still happy with my 9700 . Do they both have a tv card ?
I guess one could ask are you a gamer ?
But to give you an idea mabye look here for a reference :

Sort of a gamer from time to time. Thanks, guess like the 9800 is better in Transistor count.Quote:

It is the size of the tracks etched on the chip, more usually quoted in nanometers these days. So the 9800's 0.15micron = 150nm, compared to the X800's 0.11micron which is 110nm.Quote:

Even the low end X800GTO will outperform the top of the range 9800Pro, and will probably be about the same price.
A quick search found this.
:( The card was over $200 CAD when I got it.Quote:

See my post above. The X800GTO should outperform the 9800Pro, for about the same price, and have more scope for overclocking.Quote:
