ATI 9800 Pro Retail vs OEM

[wicastawakan]

I'm looking at a new card & wondered if there is any performance/quality difference between the retail vs oem units? Also if I should buy the 256mb card. Is the oem 256mb card equal to the retail in every way? Thanks, Clint

256Mb card is simply not worth it.. In 9800 Pro its clocked higher but the margin is minimal. If I where you I would buy a retail version with most year waranty possible. My 9800 Pro just died and I'm getting a new one for free because of the waranty. Stay away from Powercolor, Club-3d. Buy Saphyre or Ati or Hercules. Asus is great but expensive. Saphyre I think is the best chioce.
