Save your money. From every review I've seen, it barely beats out the 9800
Pro and cost much more. I'd say the 9800 Pro is the card to get without
breaking the bank.

I gave GA8IK100 with Gigabyte Radeon 9800Pro 256 mb and it works well. my
assylum ti4600 128 will fit and work well (not like the 9800) in my board,
but I threw that plastic tab away. it did nothing but make me mad.It is only
there to make sure you don't put card in against the back side. that extra
room is for a different style card.
