DO NOT buy the 9800 Pro SE. I repeat, DO NOT buy this flaming piece of shit.

Now that that's covered, I'd go with the 9500 Pro. It's a good bit more powerful than the 9600 Pro. Hell, if you were gonna spend money on a 9600 Pro, may as well get a GeForce 4 TI 4200 128 MB 8x. It's more powerful and cheaper. And don't bother giving me shit about the 8x deal, because 8x AGP means shit until you get into incredibly high resolutions and AA.

Depending on which 9500 Pro you get, some models are easily overclockable to 9700 Pro standards. I have no info on this, but I'm sure some other ATI people here do. Like I said earlier, I'd definitely go with the 9500 Pro. I've seen it for lower than $199.00 as well.
