9800np vs 9800SE

The 9800SE has 4 pipelines disabled. Depending on what one you get, you might be able to soft mod it.

I got a SE, cannot soft mod. Kinda sucks, but I'm happy with the card anyways.
 
There are 2 versions of the 9800SE.

9800SE ? 380/340?.256bit bus? L shaped memory configuration 2.8ns memory
9800SESE ? ? ? 325/250 ? 128bit bus ? I shaped memory configuration 4.0/3.6ns memory.

The faster 9800SE fares OK in the 3Dmark?s but it?s no faster than the 9600pro in the actual game benchmarks. The slower 128bit version is quite a bit slower than a 9600 pro.
 
So how do you know if you have a SE or a SESE? I'm looking to upgrade my GeForce 2 MX II 400 32mb piece of crap and I'm trying to figure what the best value Radeon is.
 
I would just stay away from any 9800SE (unless I was pretty well guaranteed a softmod to a 9800pro.). 9600pro is less expensive and probably consumes 1/2 the power.

fti?

9800SE ? 380/340?.256bit bus? $239
9800SE ? ? 325/250 ? 128bit bus ?$151
PowerColor 9600pro ?400/300 ? ? $145
 
9800SE = POS
9800np = Not a POS.

The previous people in their thread already broke down the technical aspects. The 9800SE gives performance around a 9600 Pro.
