Hey, i'm shopping for a 9800 Pro, i'm not sure which to get because the Saphires mainly come with Samsung ram, from what I hear atleast, and I hear Samsung isn't that good?

I am planning on flashing it to a 9800 XT, and do some overclocking. I also would like the DVI adapter to come with it, that would be a big plus for me

I got my sapphire 9800pro 128mb from newegg.... came with hynix ram and was easily flashed to xt.... I guess it's just luck of the draw which one you'll get.... I haven't read any reports about the samsung ram being any worse than the hynix.

I believe you have a better chance of getting the r360 on an xt board with the sapphire model. I am waiting on mine right now after I got an old stock ati model from my local vender.

good luck!

100% chance for r360 on the msi 9800pro, but it is out of stock at newegg atm. At least it shows up as a 9800xt without doing anything to it.
