    hey guys, quick question..which card would be overall a better choice?

    the 5900 non ultra comes with 128 and sells for 189 at newegg (today only special)

    the other card i'm lookin at is the radeon 9800SE with 128 at newegg for 145.

    i've heard that there are 3 different variants of the SE, like with a 128 bit bus vs a 256... or so this place tells me.. http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/radeon/sapphire-5.html#p1
    so i'm not sure...

    which is more "future proof" as far as getting mid ranged cards are concerned?

    Between those two, buy the 5900 Non-Ultra 128MB.

    9800SE is crappy crap.

    At that price range you would be better off buying the 9600 XT off of newegg....would be faster than both of those.
