When yu said no instances of paying a little more....how much is a little, hehe?
Theres a 'refurbished' powercolor 9800 Pro EZ as well on newegg for 20 cents more, if yu missed that...? (Pro EZ has slower mem than a proper 9800 Pro, but slightly higher core speeds than the standard 9800)
9800 Pro EZ
And a 'refurbished' sapphire 9800 Pro (proper one) for $20 more...?
9800 Pro (proper)
Dunno if refurbished means crap...i guess theres a risk, but they cant be selling it if there was a great risk. Its up to yu if yu think its worth it.
I only mention these cos Im not sure how a 9800 performs, and i know a 9800 Pro plays CSS perfectly on highest settings, so yu'll love it. :thumbup:
