Need a Radeon 9800 Pro Replacement. Decisions Decisions

[JDM]

welp i did some homework and it looks like the way to go for me is.. Radeon x800 series... and just pray to GOD you have one that can unlock its pipes prety easy.

welp.. which cards do you guys recommend me getting for a good chance to OC.

My system is 2800 Barton @ 2.5Ghz
and i'll be attaching my Zalman heatpipe on this with a 80mm tornado blowing on it.
Broke my 9800 pro from taking my VGA silencer off and installing a Zalman heatpipe.

So far iam thinking about buying 1 of these 2:

or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102606

which one would be better for OCing?

i'll also accept any recommendations.. i am really looking forward to getting this thing back up and running, i accidently broke the 9800 pro from taking off a VGA silencer and putting on the Zalman heatpipe.

Id say option number two.. BUT.. for around that price you should be able to pick up a 7600 GT AGP.. which is better then those.

i would go with the x850.

the 7600gt would cost more and they are alot harder to find.

been seatching and haven't found a 7600 GT for a reasonable price can you link me?

i sorta want to go back to ATI so i can reuse my heatpipe.

Hm.. Well.. The 1900 is supposed to come out for AGP pretty soon as well... I might wait and save up for that. but heres a link for the 7600GT

Not much more expensive.. you can probably pick up a used one for cheaper.. And the 7600 has better shader support then the 800 series.
