Graphics Card

<div class="IPBDescription">Oh nos not again!</div> Yes yes I know theres a billion graphics card topics, but I'm really in over my head now. After being disappointed with benchmarks on the 9600 XT I went to pricewatch to look at prices. And OMG wow prices have dropped. I now am debating between two cards (I don't give a crap wether youre a nvidia fanboy and you hate ATI, these are the cards).

Radeon 9500 Pro - $147. From what I hear these are nice cards, but they're disappearing fast due to lack of manufacture.

Radeon 9800 - $167. I can't find many benchmarks so I really don't know if the non pro is significantly better than the 9500 pro.

Any advice on which to pick?

Radeon 9800 for $167? Are you sure?

Keep in mind there are several 9800's and you're picking the one w/ the absolute least RAM... And also not to mention that I wouldn't trust that price as far as I could throw it. Remember, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Yes I know its 128 meg ram. And the second lowest price is $180 so I don't think its all that ludicrous.
