Could you expand a bit more on your comments. I was considering the 9600Pro Advantage or a 9800SE.

From what I have found so far the 9600Pro Advantage should be a better than normal card as it says it has 445MHz DDR speed?

TIA

Yes it has DDR samsung 4ns and work maximum 250 mhz any overclock of them get arctifact.
Core is like standard 9600 pro 391 mhz, but work without problem at 480mhz with atitool.
A good thing in this card Sapphire ati 9600 pro advantage edition is that you can overclock with atitool and official drivers. it is not blocked like every 9600 and 9550.

My 3DMark 2003 at maximum overclock is 3.268 points, good but with standard 9600 pro i have 3500 without problems in the same system.

My system is :

XP 1800+ at 1920mhz
MSI kt400
40GB Maxtor 7200 ata 133
Sapphire 9600pro advantage Edition

Please send me link with information of this card
