Got my almost new Retail ATI 9800 Pro 128Mb today....I'm very
impressed.....Barton 3200 / Nforce2 / 1 Gig Dual Channel...gets 5877
3DMark03 and 17,847 in 3DMark01 at the default 380/680. Guy who sold it to
me complained "it wasn't fast enough for me".....and he had it installed on
a Palomino XP1900! Oh well, his loss is my gain.....

Now overclock it... Memory should go to at least 700 Mhz.

As per request this is the results of my 415 / 720 overclock: 3dMark03: 6092
3dMark01: 17, 992
Seems quite stable. Did 3 runs of each bench at this clock rate without any
artifacting or lockups/reboots.

I just got a new retail ATI 9800 Pro which is nicely replacing my tired old
9500 pro and I will stick with it until I get a whole new computer using the
pci express format. This 9800 will be my last agp card and I am happy with
it. Thank god I read these forums and found out about those sapphire 128 bit
versions. I will never buy their product now.

same here - ebayed mine for $300au ($140us) including postage - the 9800Pro
is an excellent card (Ive moved over from nVidia) - the only thing which
annoys me of the card is the absence of 'digital vibrancy' setting which
most nVidia cards have. ATI needs this, it makes so much of a difference.

Er... his CPU is becoming a bottleneck.... er... the 9800Pro is/was
the top 2-3 cards on the market... The X800Pros are CPU limited with
3Ghz P4s.... Only a 64bit CPU can really give the X800 the juice it
needs.

Your gain....

- 15yr old boy in Washington was disciplined for drawing such images.
- White House blows cover of an undercover agent because her husband said there were no WMD (before the USA started the war) - her job was finding terrorist. (This makes sense?)

What the hell? Sapphire produces both 256-bit and 128-bit versions with
accordingly different pricing levels. The company is not intentionally
trying to scam you
