guys, the 9800gt is the same as the 8800gt. It's just marketing. benchmarks show the same performance. It has the same chipset, same memory clock, core clock etc everything is the same apart from one thing - the 9800gt has the ability to use much less power if you're not gaming (provided your mobo supports the feature), and it comes with different freebies. However, there is a 9800gt which comes with a zalman fan - that one is better than the 8800gt. look at this for example: http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?ca...4&card2=575
The 9600gt is a low end card and is much slower than the mid end 8800gt/9800gt. high end is like 9800gtx+, ultra high is the 200 series.
