Asus GF4Ti question

[Berman]

I'm in the market for a new graphics card, and I need one with vivo. I've narrowed it down to two cards, both Asus GeForce 4 Ti4800SE-based models, but I can't decide which one's better:
1. 9480 TVD - this one's a few bucks cheaper, but is possibly not as fast as the other one. Although it may have more display connectivity options.
2. 9280 S2 Super Fast - claims to be "10% faster than generic Ti4800 cards". The index of the official site says this card is based on the Ti4800SE, but the card's specific page says Ti4800. Something about it just doesn't add up.

In fact, it's the official Asus site that's got me confused. The pages for the two cards aren't set up quite the same, so it's hard to pinpoint the actual differences between them. If someone could go to
http://www.asus.com/products/vga/vgaindex.htm
and check out the two cards I mentioned, I'd appreciate it. I'd just like to know the differences between them, and also opinions on which one's better.

Thanks in advance.

I was considering the 9600pro with VIVO, but the only one I could find was much more expensive than the Gf4 cards. I live in Australia, so maybe the pricing here is different, but at the computer shop I'm looking at, the 9480 is $225, and the only 9600pro with VIVO is a Gigacube model for $299.

But thanks for helping me out with my question about the Gf4's. The website gave me the impression the 9280 S2 was faster, so thanks for clearing that up.
