Hey all, question. Sorry to be a bother to everyone these last couple of days but I've had some really bad luck lately with vid cards.

I think I found the problem. I was not using the latest nvidia nforce drivers and that caused some major hicups.

Now that I'm back on track I was wondering if you guys can give me your opinion.

I want to upgrade.

I have my eyes set of either the 9800pro AIW or the 9700pro AIW. This will be my last upgrade for about 2 years or until AMD opteron systems are affordable, aka mobo around 150 and CPU around 100-150. Going dual ^^

The price differnce between the cards are about 50 dollars

opinion please

Well it may be a little more than a $50 price difference, but I'd go for the 9800pro. Do you play a lot of games?

if you play alot of games go for the 9800 PRO, if not go for a 9500 np or pro, and soft mod it. Now, you saaid you want the AIW, which means your gonna be doing some stuff with ur TV and comp, correct? I say, get a separate TV Tuner card, theyre cheap(er), adn when it comes time to upgrade, you still have your TV tuner card, unlike takeing out ur radeon, and losing the TV features from ur comp. Do as you wish, im just giving you my 2 cents :D
