ATI 9800 Pro EZ VS ATI 9600 XT

I have seen the ATI 9800 Pro Ez 128 bit 128 mb for sale for $154.00.
Is it any good? I currently own an ATI 9600 XT 128 mb card. I want to sell
my card to a friend and buy the 9800 pro ez, is it that much faster than my
9600 XT? I would imagine an 8 pipeline card is better than 4. The card
above is 380 mhz core and 600 mhz memory speed. It's also only 128 bit and
NOT 256 bit.

After selling my card I'll only have to spend $50 or $60 dollars for it, I
need to know if it's worth upgrading from the 9600XT.

You better upgrade to the 256 bit R9800PRO or you won't see much
changes.I think I saw a 175$ R9800 PRO 256 BIT somewhere,try to look
around a bit and you'll find some great prices.
