sorry about above.
I'd say the Evga 128mb 400/850mhz is the best deal, their vid cards are always very nice and for a good price. I think eVGA is under estimated, very nice brand from my experiences.

I thought about getting that board just a few hours ago.

Reading the reviews at newegg, people were getting good OCs on that card without an temperature increases.

the best 5900 is nothing, get a 9800pro, it will smoke the crap out of any POS 5900

I've already went over this in another thread.

The 9800 pro does not kick the crap outa the 5900. I got benchmarks to prove it. Over all both cards are equal performance, and the 5900fx is $100+ cheaper. Don't come into this thread, and crap it you ATI bias people.

9600xt is only 4 pipes, and any of the above cards would smoke it. The 9800 non-pro is scarce to find for under $250. btw, he asked about the above cards, not ATI, try to stay on topic

EDIT: i type too slow...

I like the Gainward- it has the looks and speed.

edit: also the Leadtek you listed may be a bit harder to install due to their special cooling design.
