Just spotted this bit of news over at Digit-Life.com
Troubled news come from our videolab. Currently there are multiple Radeon 9800SE models in the market that differ just fundamentally! So you can easily be fooled by unfair traders offering you a bad product. But let's put things in order. The clock speeds are 325/540 MHz and everything seems to be good, but! This card has a 128-bit bus! If you remember, we've posted a photo of PowerColor's 9800SE before. The trick is the PowerColor's model bases on 9700 Pro PCB with 256-bit bus. But Sapphire's 9800SE features 128-bit bus only. What you should pay attention to first: Sapphire's 128-bit 9800SE have black PCB, while PowerColor's 256-bit 9800SE have red PCB.
