What I mean is what make? Hercules, ATI Powercolor, Gigabyte, Sapphire, 3DConnect? Looking from the box on the link you posted it looks like a proper ATI version, but closer inspection shows the box is from a 8500 model so its probably just a random picture.
Prices are different as the Hercules card is probably the most expensive but does come with a nice copper cooler unlike other cards. Some sites have actually done tests with different makes and they do perform ever so differently. I think that in most reviews the praise the Hercules for being the best 9800 Pro.
Go to www.microdirect.co.uk and have a look at there prices as for a ATI Powercolor you will spend £270 for a 9800 Pro 128mb.
> What Radeon 9800 Pro are you going to get?
128Mb ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, the site i'm getting it from doesn't stock the 256Mb version and besides there is only a slight diference in the performance of the cards, apparently!

Nice, i'm just gonna get 512Mb DDR 400 for the time being and then i'm gonna bang another 512Mb DDR 400 into my machine to bring it to a nice spec.

It is a very good card. I have the Hercules 9800 Pro and can say that it performs well. Unreal 2 runs fine at 1600x1200 with every setting set to max and running at 6x FSAA and 16x Anistropic filtering. Got an XP2800 with 1024mb dual DDR333.
