Which Radeon 9800Pro should I get, MSI OR SAPPHIRE?

If it's the 9800XXL from MSI, I'd go for that - they're using the 9800XT cores for 9800Pros, underclocking it, and equipping it with less RAM.

I'm not sure if Sapphire is doing this, but even so, I'd go for the MSI.

The only thing that has me baffled is that the MSI card uses different capacitotrs, so can the capacitors put up with the humidity here in Boston or handle some overclocking?

My MSI 9800 pro will arrive this morning, but I hve to work soon. If you can wait about 10 hours I will tell you how much of an improvement it is over my 9600 xt.

I have heard good things about the Sapphire, but it is more expensive.
