    The 9800 is a much better performer. Without a doubt.

    The only Nvidia card that comes close is the new 5900s really (the 5800 is a bit iffy).

    Look up reviews on the web (Anandtech, Hardocp etc). When using AF and AA the 9800 is in the region of 150%+ faster than any GF4. With out using AA and AF its still much faster.

    Ok ive checked some reviews but they make reference to Radeon 9800 Pro and not the 9800 i was quoted from Dell .
    The one im talking about from Dell is Radeon 9800,they do have Pro version but lot more expensive.
    Does the 9800 non Pro version still out perform my GF4 ?
    Just a bit confused tbh.

    yea even the non pro version will kick your gforce 4's ass. if i were u i'd wait for 2 weeks and then pick up a geforce fx 5900 ultra. but i doubt dell'll do them. komplett do tho!
