I would much rather have the 209$ one on newegg, since this one has a 128 bit core
i never trust any stores any more except newegg...
It looks like a non-pro to me...

I don't know if you guys have been reading the news, but quite a few people are pissed off about this card.
Sapphire ATI "Atlantis" Radeon 9800 PRO (Bulk)
You will notice that this "Atlantis" version only has a 128bit Memory controller. A real Radeon 9800 PRO has a 256bit memory controller. This card is designed to trick the buyer. Stay away from it!
I thought i've already mentioned this, but meh, your warning signs and all (made me think it was the end of the world) will get peoples attention a lot beter :)

The 9800 pro (retail version) is only a little more (10-30 dollars) than the 9600 and it pretty much doubles performance.

oops. crud. I thought you were talking about buying a 9600 for $169. But still... get the retail version (pro) for @$$ kicking performance for the dollar
