Sapphire Part Numbers

[GullyFoyle]

I have been looking to get a good deal on a 9600 Pro recently, and I have encountered so many bad sites with incorrectly labelled products (I suspect many are deliberate).

Here's one example, 9600 Pro at eebuy.com for $123. (edit: they raised the price to $152 in the last few minutes)
I emailed them and asked if this was really a non-pro, or if it was a Lite version, and they only response I got was "The Video Card is the pro version from Sapphire" (as if to say there is only one version...). No comments on the Lite question. Asking these companies what the speed of the RAM on the board is like asking them solve a quadratric equation...duh, what?

Anyway, it might help me a lot if I could identify the actual card by the Sapphire part number. This one is listed as 100561SR. Anybody know where I can find these? Sapphire's site doesn't seem to be much help.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

yeah it always seems difficult to get accurate information out of dealers... i guess they feel acting ambiguous will make you somehow more like to buy the product on faith... it prolly costs more but you might want to try newegg, mwave or a larger online retailer because then you know exactly what you're getting.
