Currently own GeForce4 TI4200(Leadtek).
I am considering a 9800Pro and leaning toward an ATI because I can buy it locally (don't have to RMA it if something is wrong "out of box"). Local price $249...plus sales tax.
Saphire one is cheaper(and no sales tax!) from Newegg...and from the looks appears to have better stock cooling.
How much drain do these cards add to a P.S.? Mine is a stock one that came with my case (Aspire X-Dreamer).
I heard(read) these cards run hot (always, or OC'd?).
Does the VGA Silencer I read about come with directions? I have not done a Heat-Sync Mod.
