Radeon 9800 pro advice?

[BigD]

Just have a question.
Picking up a Radeon card, 9800 pro 128 mb and wondering if Saphire is a good brand
About the prize, is 540 canadian a good deal?
Considering one guy said the 256 mb version was 599 and the 128 mb 579...talk about trying to screw me over 20 buck difference, i think not.

Anyway, is 545$ canadian an okay price?

sapphires are great but ATI and Sapphire 9800pro 128s are $489 now.

its a really bad rip off.

What city are you in? i can hook up some stores.
256 versions are like $680 last time i checked.

i have a sapphire, it works absolutly great, if you want to know anything about how well it runs, just let me know. i got mine when it was 350. which was about the same as the ATI built one, at the time i purchased it.

Doesnt really get any better than that at the moment.....
