Since I cannot find any 9700np's or 9500pro's, I have to get a 9600pro. Now, it seems wise to get a clock-friendly one, which is why I'm currently looking at these two :

Powercolor Radeon 9600pro 400/680Mhz

and

Sapphire Radeon 9600pro 'Fireblade' edition:
'Since we are using samsung -2.8ns memory for this first lot, the memory clock will be tuned up to 330MHz which is slightly higher than ATI s reference 300MHz clock speed. Special labels 330MHZ Memory and Fireblade Edition will be applied to the retail Box. GPU is 400Mhz'

It would seem wiser to go with the Powercolor one, but since I can't find any info about how the cards a re clocked on their homepage, I don't feel 100% sure it would be clocked at 400/340(680), so I thought I'd do best to ask; does anyone have any experience with any of these two?

Thanks.

(Oh and btw, I live in Sweden, so links to newegg and so are pretty unappreciated :) )

They are ? ?essentially? ? both the same cards as they both come with Samsung 2.8ns ram.
