    does any of these cards from priceline here look like of higher quality?
    Look at my previous post. That guy got a pretty good o/c out of his, but the main issue is that the cooling solution on that card isn't geared at supporting ultra high o/c.

    ^this atlantis 9800 pro for $307 looks very promising...
    [considering its the same model card modeled here: http://www.techspot.com/reviews/hard...ro/index.shtml ]

    edit: after further research, it appears the default ATI radeon 9800 pro's are very good overclockers [440/380]....do any of those $300 cards on priceline appear to be ATI radeon 9800 model im refering to?

    Anti-Aliased deer don't taste very good.

    By the looks of things and how slow it will be for any DX9 games to arrive you have plenty of time to sit back and watch the prices fall.

    Your overclocked Ti4400 will easily do fine for now.

    It does okay, but I do like the eye candy, and it really sucks that I can't turn on AA/AF in anything relatively new, like BF1942.
