Purchasing a 9600pro

[infiniti029]

I'm looking to purchase a Radeon 9600 Pro, but I don't know which brand to buy and a decent price. I just need the standard pro (agp, dvi, svid), and no need to OC. Btw, what are your thoughts on OEM boards?

here are some to consider, http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=1&submit=Go&description=9600pro

i just saw some deals posted on some sites for a 9800NP, and a 9700 pro. I heard that by flashing the 9800NP to a pro will make it just as good? And from what I know, a 9700pro is just as good as a 9800np.
