overclockers.co.uk are doing a 9800np for just over 120 quid, which has been coming with Samsung 3.3ns memory for people recently which overclocks well:

Scroll down a bit. They were also doing 9800 pros for 125 quid a couple of weeks back, but that looks to have only been a one week deal unfortunately.

I have a Sapphire Radeon 9800NP w/ Samsung 3.3ns flashed with PRO BIOS and my memory can do upto 800Mhz :eek: Too bad the core only does upto 430MHz :(

420 to 430 core seems about max on most 9800 these days.

Somehow I doubt you'd choose the slower card which is bundled with a crap game.. even OEM 5900XT's come in at £120+ and the 9800Pro is still worth the extra.

Scan.co.uk also had a "Today Only" special a while back with 9800Pros for £125. crazy value.. some other places have been selling them ~£140 mark.

High-end card for mid-range price, kinda wish I'd held off 7 months and not gotten the 9800np (and saved £70!) but I think the GF2mx may have driven me crazy by now.. :retard:

Dazz, are ye usin any heetsinks on ye memory like? :D

Lol yeah i know what you mean, although i think i could of held off a little longer with my Ti4400, nope no heat sinks on the memoy. But i am using the Enhanced BIOS which allows higher overclocks as it reduces memory latency. Like a P4 more bandwith at a cost of latency the diffrence is minamal from CL2 and CL3 :)
