I just bought a Radeon 9600 (supposedly Pro) and it was pretty hard to find in my country, but after the purchase I researched some time, and found out that supposedly Powercolor cheated with this card, I heard that the card is not a 9600Pro and yes an overclocked 9600, now I'm afraid I bought it.
The clocks are 400 for GPU and 400 for RAM, from the photos you can see that it doesn't use BGA memories, but SOC, it has a total of 256MB. What I heard, is that Powercolor simply took the traditional radeon 9600, and upped the gpu clock from 325mhz to 400mhz and sold them as Pro keeping the standard memory clock (due to using cheap memory). I didn't pay much for it (in my country it cost the equivalent of 26 dollars)
What do you think? Did I get a good deal? Is it good enough for GTA San Andreas, Far Cry and NFS u2?
