No question....the 9800XT is far above the 9800SE in terms of both
performance and cost. Many 9800SE's can be softmodded into a 9800 Pro which
results in about a 50% boost in performance. Detailed instructions on this

He's talking about a 9600XT, not 9800XT.

I really looked into this before ending up buying the 9800pro, but only
because I picked up the 9800pro for ~US$170.

If you want to take your chances with the softmod option the for the 9800se
money you can end up with a 9800pro.

If it fails you still end up with a "reasonable" card but the 9600XT is
slightly faster.
