Best ATI 9800 Pro 256 meg card, is OEM OK?

[me]

I have seen ATI Sapphire OEM cards and wonder if they are OK? I want
to buy a 9800 Pro 256 meg card but don't know what brand to buy. Please
advise, thanks.

me,

Why not but the card directly from ATI? The non
branded oem ones are listed at about the same prices as ATI's retail boxed
cards.

Andy,

ATI had listed the Radeon Pro 256mb as "Out of stock" since it was announced
on their website. However their company retail store is now accepting orders
for immediate shipment as of June 21.

I understand that Sapphire basically IS ATI.
The Gigabyte 9700 Pro is very reasonably priced (215 UKP delivered) and good
quality.
