As you can see in my signature i've got an 9800 Aiw and I choosed VGA Silencer Rev3. because the ramsinks from the new Ati Silencer 1 Rev.2 are made of al and it's not that good.
VGA Silencer is cheaper because it's older and for an 9800 AIW it's enought,
i would buy additional Ramsinks if need them when i would like to overclock, because your ram underneath the Silencer is covered but not cooled.
If you buy the VGA Silencer then make sure that the rev is 2 or higher because on the 9800AIW you need a special hole because of some components.

Buy VGA Silencer and additional BGA-Ram cooler made of copper!
