My friend recommened either the 9800 SE or 9800 Pro if I wanted the best ,not waste of money card out, I was looking at the 9800 Pros by Sapphire and I can't tell the difference between some of them. There are a couple different 9800 Pro 128mb OEM. Here is the link http://www.newegg.com/app/Viewproduc...=&srchFor=9800 Can someone explain the difference between them?

The 9800SE and the 9600XT perform almost identically from what I've seen. The difference between those two cards is that one has VGA+VGA+TV Out and the other has VGA + DVI + TV Out. Since I run a digital LCD, I'd pay the extra $12 for the DVI any day.

Yah I know that, but what are differences between each of the 9800 pros? Is is certain memory speed or something?

im not totally sure, but i think i remember hearing that the SE's ram is slower, thus the lower price. I dont have a clue though as to how much of a difference.

So if I'm not using a LCD screen I shouldn't get the DVI one and get the double VGA, what can you do with two VGA?
