Which one of these is better? SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON 9800SE Video Card, 128MB DDR, 128-bit, DVI-TV-Out, 8X AGP, Model ATLANTIS RADEON 9800SE -OEM ---- http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-348&depa=0 ---- OR REFURBISHED: Info-Tek ATI RADEON 9600XT Video Card, 256MB DDR, 128-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP, Model "R96XT-D3" -RETAIL (OEM, BAREBONE) ---- http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-240-017R&depa=0 ---- Buffalos dont have wings, chickens dont have fingers, fish dont have sticks... (then again, the males do!)

Notice that the ATI RADEON 9800SE is 128MB BUT the ATI RADEON 9600XT is 256MB! :) Buffalos dont have wings, chickens dont have fingers, fish dont have sticks... (then again, the males do!)

Always go for the higher Specs in any case (except between AMD and Intel processors) the higher the memory the better. I'd definetly take the 9600XT any day.

Well if you find a 9800se 256-bit then go for that, in this case the 9600xt is the better choice, btw. there is a difference in memory quality between the 9600xt 256 and 128...usually the manufacturers put slower memory chips in the 256 mb cards to lower the price...and the difference in performance between the 128mb and 256mb 9600xt is not great...I would go for the 128mb 9600xt.
