Shawk,

Does your Sapphire come with a fan or a heatsink? I can't stand fan noise
and my interest in the Connect 9600s is that they have heatsinks although I
think the Pro might have a fan. I would be interested to know what the
Sapphire has.

John.

Sorry I meant to tell you I am posting from the UK!

I can't help with U.K. prices or avilability, but the Sapphire cards are
generally the pick of the
OEMs, with better quality memory that can usually be overclocked without
much trouble. If you can get that G4 4600, it would be a decent cheap
stopgap until you could save up for a Sapphire 9800 non-pro, which can
often
overclock to 9800 Pro and beyond.



Had my Sapphire 9600Pro from Overclockers.Co.Uk. Its the genuine article
with 400/300. Its £141 including VAT. Just took a look for you and
unfortunately they're currently out. Nice system BTW.
