9600pro vs. 9800se

[Jouskari]

Hercules 3D Prophet 9600Pro 128M DDR or Hercules 3D Prophet All-In-Wonder 9800SE 128M.
Its going to be fitted in Shuttle SB61G2. AllInWonder properties are a nice bonus, but I really dont need them.
Both cards made by Hercules, but which one is faster, which one produces more heat, and which one is noisier? According to hercules homepage, I assume that 9800se is with 256bit bus. Price in here is near same, and I'm aware of slim chance about soft modding 9800se.

graphic gards are cheap when compared to MTG cards

MTG cards can be really expensive I'm happy i sold all those i had (only left myself my green deck) but that was a bit OT
If the price is the same then get 9800SE at least you will have chance of softmodding and you get AIW features as well.

I would get Radon 9600 PRO. Radeon 9600 PRO + overclock is a safer buy than Radeon 9800SE + softmod

I recently posted a review of the Hercules AIW R9800SE in <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=377224#377224" target="_new">This Thread</A>.

I wouldn't be able to say which one performs better (my R9600P overclocks stable to 535/365). But the R9600P will definitely produce less heat.
