I personally believe you'd get more benefit from the faster and more robust 9800 than you would get from the extra ram. By the time anything really *needs* 256MB of video ram, the 9600 will probably be too slow to run it, anyway. ;-) -- cK

The 9800 will be noticeably faster in modern games, provided your CPU can keep up... The RAM is unlikely to be missed.

I have the ATI9600XT..shortly after I bought it the 9800Pro's dropped in
price...personally I'd go for the Pro..I wish I had ...don't get me wrong..the 9600XT is an awesome card..but for the same money I could have had a 9800Pro.

Most games today won't make good use of the extra 128 mb of ram, however the extra horspepower from the 9800 will be nice, assuming you have a fairly up to date cpu. -- Don Burnette
