Faster by 1.7FPS in UT2003, slower by over 6FPS in Quake 3. Looks like
a swings and roundabouts situation UNTIL you softmod the 9800SE and
then you get an instant 50% increase.
OTTOH those benchamrks are at stock 9800SE speeds. THere's not many
9800SEs that won't run at 9800XT Core/Mem speeds.

THose tests were done on Radeon 9800SEs with 128bit Buses. Quite a few,
like mine, have a 256bit bus the same as the Pro/XT so would give a
higher score.
No question....the 9800XT is far above the 9800SE in terms of both
performance and cost. Many 9800SE's can be softmodded into a 9800 Pro which
results in about a 50% boost in performance. Detailed instructions on this
