This upgrade would cost me $60... is it worth it?

Is it a REAL 9800XT or a 9800Pro flashed to XT? Reason i'm asking is that I was under the impression that all real 9800XTs are 256MB. I could be mistaken, but i've yet to see one that isn't.

For $60, I would say sure go for it. But not a penny more. If it's a true 9800XT, you might get around a 10 fps jump, depending on what resolutions you play at.

I noticed a difference bettwen my bro's old 9700 non-pro and my 9800Pro. So you should see about the same jump, from a 9700P to a 9800XT
