Looking at purchasing a 9800Pro made by the "Yuan High-Technology Development Corporation Ltd", who are apparently an ATI partner able to brand their boards as "Powered by ATI". In addition the 9800Pro has been certified by ATI. However, having said that I am a little hesitant to pony up my hard-earned cash without asking if anyone else has any experiences good or bad with this board that they want to share.

Yeah - about that review... I don't put a lot of faith in OverclockersNZ as all do is rah rah *every* product they review. Could be a case of free toys for positive reviews IMHO. And I would like more than one review upon which to base my purchasing decision. And I am not convinced its BUILT by ATI. Yuan look like a contract manufacturing outfit. As far as I understand, only cards actually made in the ATI silicon-sweatshop can be called BBA. Everything else is just PBA.

Well I brought said card - and it ROCKS. I judge its 2D to be as good as my venerable Matrox G450.
