When I saw that bestbuy.com had the 9800 Pro on sale for 299.99 with free shipping I decided it would be a nice early xmas gift. Nice thing about it is that if the price drops lower within the next month, I can go to my local best buy and get the difference back :D I really wanted to get the XT, but at $200 more, I had to decide against it. My Ti4400 has severed me exteremely well, and i'll be sad to see it go. Its going to go to a good home though. My best friend has been wanting me to build him a computer but hasn't been able to come up with the $$$, so i'm going to donate it to him.

I'm not giving up on my Ti4400 yet. It has plenty of life left in it. :)

Between the XT and the it's not worth the extra 200 Bucks.

You'll love the card, I know I love mine, but mine's the ALL IN WONDER 9800 Pro :)

Yeah, I know mine has plenty of life left in it as well... I even told myself I wouldn't upgrade the video card until the NEXT generation comes out... But I've got no will power it seems and I have succumbed to the evil voice that i've been hearing. My original plan was to keep this rig (2500+@3200+ 1GB Ti4400) the way it was, and in a year or so build a whole new rig with whatever happens to be the latest and greatest. Oh well, plans change.

I actually thought about the AIW, but I've already got a seperate tuner card and video capture card already so I decided against it. Although it would have been a blast to have that RF remote and mess with people by moving the mouse around when they're using my PC :r

I just ordered the 9800XT and I hope it is an improvement over my 7200.:x
I also saw the 9800pro at best buy and almost ordered it but I figured I'll just spend the extra cash for the better one.

You can run the 9800Pro at 9800XT clock speeds though. So spending the extra $200 isn't worth it.
