ATI or Asus

For 9600 XT which card is better, ATI or Asus?
Newegg sells them at the same price $189.
It seems Asus has better software bundle.

Its all preferance really. ATi holds very high (and very strict) quality regulations with their partners so all off brands are basically the same thing (where as with nVidia cards, and even 3Dfx cards you could have quite a drastic difference between the brands).

Check the warranty length also - I like ATI 3-year warranty and they quick exchange service - saved me twice from having to wait for weeks to get my card RMA'ed :) ...
