Xtasy or ATI 9800?

[Snipe292]

I'm gonna buy a 9800 pro, and was wondering what you guys would pick if you had a choice: Ati's or Visiontek's? I can't find any pictures of the visiontek's card, though I assume it is pretty much the same. What I really care about is cooling. Has visiontek had a good history in cooling? This might seem trivial but I'm about to spend $400 and want to get my money's worth. Thanks.

Oh yeah, and bundled software. I don't see anywhere an indication of what the 9800 has bundled with from either companies. Are they not including bundled software with the 9800? Its not a big deal, just wondering.

Sometimes they have different clock speeds with different companies so I would usually stick with retail ati cards. Visiontek is pretty good about replacing the card if it dies though.
