Which 9700 do I buy?

[Roman79]

I'm about to buy a 9700 (non-pro) and I was wondering whether I should get one of the black PCB Sapphire cards with the round silver HSF or the regular red PCB ATI cards with the square black HSF?

Is there any difference?

I plan to flash it to a pro and overclock it as well. Thanks for any input!

I doubt there will be any noticable difference. I'd say look at the NS rating of the RAM and go from there.

Unfortunately I have no way to tell what kind of ram the black PCB card has.

Other people that have bought the red PCB card (from the store in question) are reporting that the ram is 2.8ns. That would equate to about 350MHz, no? Can it get much better than that?

Ati I would say =P
