Should i buy? 9600 pro

[WyrmHunter]

I found this Card at respectable website but it seems odd for some reason, and I dont know what the hell Model "R96A-C3N" is .

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?DEPA=&sumit=Go&description=14-131-219&searchdepa=0

I'd aperciate if someone could enlighten me to the meaning of the model number.

Also a further question I found a few websites that were selling them cheaper by about twenty bucks but they were selling 9600 pro EZ. Id apreciate if you tell me what EZ signifies aswell

so far all i know is that SE is crap and XT is too expencive.

Thanks in advance

Edit: i found that EZ is 400mhxCloc/400mhzMem
and that jsut PRO is 400mhxClock/600mhzMem

now question is can you easily overclock EZ to the PRO spec? <P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by WyrmHunter on 12/29/03 05:33 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

From Wussy's link it looks like a standard 9600 Pro.

which one is more overclockable

 

[WyrmHunter]

hmm one guy said he got +470core / +330memory stable on the saphire

the other guy who bought powercolour got +460 core / +330 mem

since the THGC guide states
"For ATI based cards:
Best: Built by ATI, Hercules
Good: Gigabyte, Sapphire"

saphire it is. ill order it tommorow, thnx for your help

if u going for powercolour,get the powercolour R9600pro bravo edition... (i have one)
it has samsung 2.86ns ram and the cooling solution is quite good.
its ur choice, but back in singapore the bravo edition is selling at a same price as a Gexcube R9600XT.
I dunno what ram the gexcube is using so its ur choice anyway.

Who is from singapore? I am.
