Hey all,
I'm lookin to upgrade my video card in a month or so (still runnin a Voodoo4) and I was planning on just getting the 9600XT, but I've been browsing the forums and alot of people say they've flashed (I'm assuming the BIOS) of their 9800 non Pro's and that it works as well as a Pro. I've got about 200 dollars to play around with, but if I can get effectively a 9800 Pro for < 300$, I'd think it'd be worth it. I'm not particularly worried about the HL2 bundle because I've heard it might only be the single player version. What do you think would be the best value? Are OEM boards safe to buy? Are Sapphire's cards worth buying or is it lower quality? Thanks, z0mb1e.
