    I saw that ad. This is a nonpro. 250 is an alrite deal, but I thought there were some places on the net selling for 235, of coarse with shipping that comes pretty close to 250.

    However, I personally havnt looked at the box, it could be a 9800se, which sucks, but im almost positive it is a nonpro because the price is being marked down from 300 which sounds right for a nonpro.

    Actually just checked newegg, they have a saphire 9800np for 248, so the best buy deal is actually pretty good.

    Yes, it is the NP (I just read the ad.)
    Yes, it is a good price.
    No, it's not the SE.

    Keep in mind that this is the boxed retail version of the 9800NP and not OEM. Not bad at all.

    Well the added memory speed and to not get 3.3ns memory would be a good reason

    That's a great price.

    That's true C, but not everyone's looking for that top notch 3D Mark rig.

    Well yeah, That is why I didnt suggest the Pro... The NP is a great price... But the OEM 9800Pro can be had for $320ish...

    Which is a very decent price for a pro
