Okay, now I decided to go ahead and pay the extra money to get a 9800 pro instead of the $200 more for a 9800XT. Now, I was searching to buy one and there are a bunch of 9800 pro cards and I don't know which one to get. One is by Sapphire, one is Atlantis, etc. I don't know which one to get. When I look at the different 9800 pro cards, the prices are all different but being sold on the same site and are all 9800 pro 128meg. So, I'm stuck and I don't know which one to get. Is Sapphire better or is the ATI OEM one better or what's going on here? I do know that different companies are using the 9800 pro chipset on their cards, but is the more expensive one better [that is definitely not always true]? It's like, on Allstarshop.com, they have about 5 different 9800 pro cards which all have 128meg, but they range from $206-$307. It doesn't make sense to me. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!
