9800gt ddr3 vs gt 240 1Gb ddr5?

[Paulson13]

After rebate both of these cards are 79.99, which do you think is the better buy? Is ddr5 that great over ddr3?

The 9800GT has a better GPU so it is faster regardless of memory type. Both are used in this benchmark http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-5570,2552-9.html 8800GT=9800GT

Yep.
That 9800gt is faster.
