Hi,
Whats the difference between Ati Radeon 9700 pro
$259 and Ati Radeon 9700 pro ultimate $354? On the other hand Ati Readon 9800 pro cost $337. Can you please explain me . Thanks.

Probaly not much, more fetures maybe a small differents in memory clock, Just get the 9700 Pro!

i agree with Darthgary its probably just a normal 9700pro with a registered version of powerstrip.
just get the 9700pro, get powerstrip and tweak it on your own.

the 9700 pro ultimate differs from the regular 9700 pro in that it includes a Zalman heat pipe. Just read about it in the link.

Personally, I think its overkill, but it comes down to personal preference. I just got a Radeon 9800 (non-pro), clocked it up to Pro and its running great.

The ultimate is just a gimmick. Get a 9700 pro or 9800.
