Radeon 9800 Pro
I am building a new computer very soon, and I have decided to go with the 9800. Retail, it'll cost $332 (going by Pricewatch). But if I buy the OEM version I can get it for $270. Any suggestions about this particular company or ATI OEM's in general are appreciated. Here is a link to the OEM I am thinking of buying: http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/simp...7433&ad=pwatch


EDIT: fixed link.

link didnt work.
What brand is the card. Is it built by ATI or just powered by ATI
Most people on here would suggest www.newegg.com. As I would too. Bought from them before and was very happy. Good prices with low and sometimes free shipping costs.

That's the non pro radeon 9800 you're lookin at right? Anyway, I just got a non-pro 9800 from Powercolor via Newegg. Cost about $297, though that price listed for the Sapphire seems really good. I think you shoudl go for it.

I got a 128mb 9800 PRO from mwave a little bit ago for $287 Not bad IMO, though I don't know if they have them anymore. I belive it was powered by ATI, looks like a powercolor to me, but I'm not really sure.

edit: Actually I'm not sure anymore if it is a PRO. Thats what windows edintfies it as, but mwave said it was a plain 9800. It is a powercolor though.

Original Equipment Manufacturer is what OEM means. It just means its not retail.

But is the Sapphire RADEON 9800 PRO ATLANTIS the same card as a retail ATI Radeon 9800 pro 128? The "atlantis" is making me concerned.
