ok  I was looking to get a new graphics card for AoC and i was wondering if there was any difference between these two cards: PNY XLR8 GeForce 9800 GTX Video Card - 512MB DDR3, PCI Express 2.0, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV or EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX Video Card - 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV. Their price is just slightly different and i was just wondering why that is and if one is better than the other, thanks.

Get the EVGA card. EVGA has a lifetime warranty on their cards (compared to 3 years of PNY), the 90 day step-up program, and far superior customer-service than PNY.

PNY is really in the workstation market.  Not sure how thier consumer grade graphics compare.
