Just so I dont buy something thats not the right card, Can someone clarify this for me.

http://www.srsystems.com/product_info.php?cPath=37_121&products_id=989

Just wanted to know if thats exactly what I want. That's a local store here in Idaho and it's cheaper than Best buy, circuit city, comp usa, etc.
(Not cheaper than online store like newegg, but I don't wanna wait on shipping)

:)

Thanks guys!


EDIT: This is why I'm asking this question, I saw this review on newegg.com about a 9800 pro

"I got one of these like 3 weeks ago. I was expecting the r360 core since so many people have gotten them in this card, but i actually got an r350 core. A little bit of a dissapointment, but i knew it was a gamble and i took it. Irregardless, i put a vga silencer and some ramsinks on it and i can OC to 420/720. Bottom line its a great card at a great price."

What confuses me is the r360 core, and the r350 core.

r350-first gen 9800pro cards
r360-newer 9800pro cards

r360 is the same core as the 9800xt cards, so a card with r360 core and the right memory can be modded to 9800xt
the r350 core cannot be modded but again with the right memory it can oc much better than the r360 core
its a matter of personal choice, whatever core you get is still a great card
