( SE) It's the lower-end of the cards.

Re: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro - please help
Do NOT get the "SE". It denotes a castrated memory interface (128-bit vs
256-bit) and possibly a slower clock speed. These shortcomings reduce the card's speed to a 9600's level. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."
