I would say that the 9800pro is better.
The AIW card might heat up more so just make sure there is ventilation.
9600xt sucks ass now. you can only play the latest games like FEAR on low settings. 9600xt is only like 75$ . 6600gt is 150$ <-- good value..
Im not talkin about the 6600GT... 9800XT AIW. Damnit clocker your late :helpsmili :frusty: :fist:
9800 Pro 9600 XT

The first spec is the 9800 pro and the second is 9600 XT...donno how to insert tables
Anyways, all that equals about a 20-30% performance gain for the 9800 pro over the 9600 XT.
As for the price, the cheapest 9600 XT is around $109 CAD and the cheapest 9800 pro is about $40-50 bucks more expensive...so u decide, after all, u get wut u pay for.
The version he wants to get is a 9800PRO AIT 128mb. I still think it's the way to go.
