I just orderd a 9800pro and Got it, its a sapphire Atlantis 9800pro 256Meg with HL2 cupon. I orderd it from allstarshop.com for 275. I was thinking that it was an ok Deal because it wasn't that much more than a what I've found else where but it still had an HL2 cupon too. I just DLed Rivaturner and looked at the main tab and it says 128bit Now I feel like a jackass all just for a HL cupon.
I haven't tried to push the card but it runs Ok, I haven't pused the IQ settings yet or anything above 1024x768
Oh woe, woe is me.
Edit: this is the page I ordered from: http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/product.asp?pid=8652&sid=29VJG46VP6PP8NA5CKD6VK14HHADEHUA
It didn't have this much information on it when I was ordering, I followed the product link and read the whole sale page when i was selecting, it didn't say that the memory was 128 bit, In fact it didn't mention more than the ammount of memory and the product link of course is the updated page for the updated product and 256 bit memory. I had rejected a card earlier when I was searching for one, (I was still looking at 128 Meg cards and a very lower price range then and not even the pro models)
