$219 is great for a 9700 Pro, IF you don't plan on overclocking it. If you do plan on overclocking your card, spend $30 more to get a 9800np. After a simple BIOS flash you'll end up with a fully-fledged 9800Pro. Even if you (for some odd reason) don't flash the BIOS, you'll still get *slightly* more bang for the buck using an o/c'ed 9800np than an o/c'ed 9700Pro. Not to mention that the 9800 is new (though I personally have never had any problems with Newegg refurbs.)
