The most popular card would be the Sapphire Tech 9800 Pro 128meg 256bit (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-268&depa=0) card. Its your safest bet, just make sure you get the 256bit version.

this is probably the best guide that shows the different cards and the benefits of being able to flash the card to an xt. Read through this and make an informed decision about the 9800pro cards..... as mentioned by jacobman, i have the sapphire card and it came with the xt pcb and the r360 core.... i flashed it to a real 128mb 9800xt and now my card rules.... :D

My vote is for the MSI model (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=14-127-127&depa=1). Same reference design, it's $29 cheaper than the Sapphire, and comes with a much better software bundle. Why pay more for less?

Just do not get a card with a 128bit memory interface.
