New Egg has Sapphire 9800 Non Pro for $265 plus free shipping. Check with graphic card forum on the Powercooler. I think they have said to stay away from that vid card.

 

[Khanate]

from which vid card?
the sapphire or the other one?

Hey thanks a lot, you helped me all the way in choosing my stuff, it sounds pretty good and i have finally found where it says Sapphire is good (and only 5$ more) then the bad quality powercolor!
Have a nice day,

Nice to see you found what your looking for. Sapphire is a very good Vid card.

i have heard that saphire makes many pcbs for the built by ati cards...i beleive it was in the latest thg gpu round up...

3 386DX-25's...12 volts...glue some ln2 and a wicked amount of overclocking and you get a willamantee minus 36 pins, 33.75 million transistors and a couple hundred mhz... 😎

There was something negative about the powercolor graphics in the Graphics Cards forum

The loving are the daring!
