Compusa offering Raedon 9800 pro for 399

They offer both the Ati branded Radeon 9800 Pro and 9700 pro for 399. I would assume they are different. Are they worth the purchase or would a different brand be better?

Check very carefully whether the 9800 is retail or OEM. ATI themselves underclock the OEM version so you're really buying a piece of shit. Especially in Hawaii, you know how much the shipping alone would cost?

You can't buy OEM in retail stores man. Atleast not respectable ones like CompUSA. That's a damn good price for retail boxed.

That's where I got mine.

Was actually best overall price considering shipping costs.
