9800 Pro Ultimate

[vwsung18t]

I was browsing around for 9800 Pro and 5900 Ultra prices and came across 9800 Pro 256MB Ultimate Edition. It costs like $100 more than regular. Does anyone know what makes it worth $100 more than a regular 9800 Pro 256MB?

The ultimate edition is a fanless version of the 9800 Pro - has this huge heatsink-heatpipe stucture fitted on it that makes it take up one PCI slot position. I believe its a Sapphire Tech card right? I wouldn't spend the extra 100$ on it, coz it doesn't OC as well as the standard heatsink+fan version. u'd be better off buyin an audigy2 to compliment your graphics with sound! But that's just me.
