What is a Radeon 9700 GOLD???

[cycleman77]

I was shopping for a 9700 and I ran across a 9700 GOLD.
Is there a difference in the two cards?
Is it just an advertisement?
Is it just the name of the package, as in same card, but different software that comes with it??

Thanks

GoogleGear and Newegg both have it.
Here is the link to Newegg...

Its the first one.
Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but I didn't notice a difference between the 9700 and the 9700 GOLD.
