Is an Ati Radeon 9800 128mb good for $200? This is at Fry's after an instant gift rebate. What is an instant gift rebate? Is it like other instant rebates where you don't have to send stuff in? Also, should I get a 9600 for $70 or this for $200? or neither? |

It in the Fry's ad it is in a Built BY Ati Box, the one with the gargoyal thing. I though they only made non-pros not SEs is this true? If it is a nonpro and nonse should I get it? | |

9600/XT 4 rendering pipes
9800SE 4 rendering pipes
9800 non-pro/non-se 8 pipes
In order of fastest last-slowest first.

If it's made by ATI, go for it. Don't look at any of the SE versions. They are clocked slower and the memory isn't anywhere near as good.
