o.k. I'm sold on the Hercules 9800se pro, where can I buy one?

After reading the hexus review I'm sold on this card. However I can't find one for sale at any of the usual channels. I'm in the U.S.A. so I may have to look into importing one of these. Does anyone know of a U.S. retailer that has this card in stock? If not, can anyone point me towards a U.K. retailer that will ship overseas?

Thanx,

thx for the link, but I don't think that's the Hercules card. I do see some Sapphire 9800se AIW cards available in the US, would they have similar performance to the Hercules model?

Yes, in theory

The word on the street is that all 9800SE_AIW use the all important 256bitDDR with 380/340 clocks. You may find chances of modding any of these to 9800PRO_AIW as high as 50% but I'd expect it to be much lower. In many ways the 9600PRO/XT is superior, it's designed and optimised for 4 pipes and 128bitDDR and it uses very little power while the XT should come an intelligent fan and have higher default clocks. So consider the 9600PRO/XT, what you lose in moddability you gain in virtually guaranteed perf (and o/c) and you take out the homework as you always know what you're getting. 9800SE (256bitDDR) are still very fine cards with great stock perf ... just depends on whether you're a gambler or not I guess.
