9600se vs. 9600 or 9600Pro

Due to budget constraints, I ended up getting the SE. I know there's a difference in speed between these three cards but not sure how much I'll see. I'll use the computer for internet, email, some picture editing and moderated gaming. Can anyone with experience let me know what kind of graphics I can expect from the 9600SE?

The difference between the SE and the Pro cards is the memory clock speed. I believe the SE runs at 200 MHz (400 because of DDR) while the Pro runs at 300 MHz (600 effectively). You'll probably get by just fine since you only do moderate gaming, but I really can't comment on what the card can/cannot handle since I've never owned one myself.

For general use and light gaming, its fine, but it wouldnt' compare to the PRO.

is clock speed the only difference on those? might be worth getting RadLinker and trying to clock it up a bit. ati cards seem to respond really well to overclocking.
