Radeon 9500pro (Which MFR?)
I'm a little confused about this graphics card thing. I'm set to get an ATI Radeon 9500pro 128mb. But I saw one from Sapphire that was cheaper. If it still has the radeon 9500 pro chipset, wouldn't it make sense to go with the cheaper one. What other factors are involved? Maybe someone can explain...

The Sapphire cards are good ones, in fact Sapphire makes the "built by ATI" cards as well.
The deal is similar to the one NVidia has with cards makers though ATI is doing better quality control. |

So some ATI "knockoffs" are better than others? Any other good ones besides Sapphire that are less expensive?

Thanks for the links Pam, most of my items will be coming from either newegg or googlegear. Both are well rated at reseller ratings.
