Radeon 9800 Pro
Is this good price? I don't know about the manufacturer. I'm think of card in this caliper.
9800 pro or GF FX 5900. In 128mb.

Your feedbacks are welcomed.

System to run in:

Athlon 64 3000+ 939
ASUS A8V Deluxe rev.2
Memory: 2x512 of who knows what..

The only problem with this card is this :
128-bit memory interface delivers the bandwidth for real time 3D graphics and barrier free performance

A real 9800 Pro has 256-bit memory interface. This puts this card more on the lines of a 9600 Pro I believe.

Exactly, the official 128MB 9800Pro come with 256bit memory interface, but some manufacturers (Sapphire and PowerColor) produce cheaper 9800Pro with 128bit instead of 256bit interface (they also produce the normal 9800Pro with the regular 256bit memory), which severely limits their performance, you should stay away from those crippled cards, and make sure you're getting the fully fledged 256bit 9800Pro which goes for around 190-200$ ATM, check newegg.com for good prices on these cards.
