What to buy?

[Finsta]

What to buy a 9800Pro or a 9800XT? I've had bad experiences with overclocking, maybe that is because I am a n00b. Or should I wait, and dish out the cash and get myself a PCI-E supporting motherboard and get a R420? I am also trying to sell my 5600 which is my only graphics card, right now.

Yeah......sparklies while gaming don't happen cause of one to many hits from the Whip-Its can in the fridge. Sparklies in video card language mean, "I'm dying."

As for your current 5600 and this "bad experiences w/overclocking" statement....I feel for whoever buys that card.

Hah, I haven't touched the FX5600. I have a dead 9000Pro, that was the experiment.
