I can honestly say that my 9800 pro is the best computer upgrade I have ever
done.

My best computer upgrade was 3dfx voodoo 1, I can still remember scooping my

The guys at Digital Daily have done all the leg-work for you!

For my part my trusty 9700 np - reflashed to "pro" zings along nicelly
thanks. I've also decided that for the time being I'll make do with "second
user" last-years best performer and soft/hard mod it with the benefit of 12
months of other peoples enthusiasm
Accordingly for the #2 machine at home I've just bought off eBay a 64Mb 9500
np, which with a few simple mods will bring me to within a "gnats-cock" of
a 9700 pro - for less than a third of the price that I paid for the other
card 8 months ago.
Just my two bobs worth!

....as I say to colleagues at work who ask me when is a good time to buy a
new computer - Next week!

Since I'm considering the 9700np by Power Color at Game VE for $217 w free
shipping, would you explain the mods you used to increase performance and do
you think that is a good deal for the card?
