Anybody have this in their system?

Is this one really 256 or a juiced 128.Eveything i've read seems to say it IS a 256DDR chip set.

ATI OEM SAPPHIRE RADEON 9800 PRO 256MB DVI/TV 8X AGP OEM $429.00, free shipping too. It's not a true ATI card (made by them) but one with their specs and chipset. This isn't a problem unless you use it with linux then the ATI linux drivers insist that the card report in as a "made by ATI" card. this is what made me opt for an nvidia card, but ATI's seem to be a little more bleeding edge.

newegg is your friend for hardware. I just bought an nvidia fx 5600 256mb card, 120gb drive, some LED lit fans, 512mb more memory, and had no problems with anything. Surf around the site, lots of reviews from users on most of the popular products.
