    Which card?!?!

    Asus GeForce FX 5900 V9950GE 128Mb TD Gamer Edition Retail
    ATi Radeon 9800Pro 128M OEM
    Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9600 XT 256Mb Lite Retail Boxed

    All around the same price, just looking for the best performance upgrade from my GF FX5200.

    The only problem is can see with the OEM card is the fact it probably wont have any warrently with it, so if it breaks further on down the line you wont be able to get an RMA/replacment.

    this very card is brand new built by Ati and come with the newer xt r360 core instead of the usual r350- it'l overclocks better and can be turned into a 9800xt with a bios flash- awesome. Cheap awell.

    Remeber to OC the card to stock XT speeds first (Core: 414, Mem: 365) to make sure there's no problems, then flash the BIOS, if you're going to. Don't OC or flash it without changing the stock cooler either.
