Yeah 5 bucks. It's worth it if you're buying several items as I've often done before.

I think they stopped charging for will-call a while back. I haven't been charged the last few times, and can't find an item to add to the cart that doesn't say free will-call.

Price dropped again allstarshop.com has it for $232 and Newegg has it for $233, maybe by the time I'm ready to buy it'll be around $200 even.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think these prices are for the Radeon 9800 SE. The cheapest I could find on both sites for the Radeon 9800np is $249.

Allstarshop increased the price for 9800np back to $249 on Monday, I waited for it to drop some more but missed the deal and had to order from Newegg.com for $248 w/Fedex Saver and free Newegg Hat :)

Clock speeds. 9800np ~ 9700pro
If you get one that has good ram on it you should be able to hit 9800 pro speeds with it.

Find someone who needs a new dell and pay them to include the 9800np in their configuration, it's only $120. That's what I did, then I just gave them a $15 radeon I picked up at office depot.
