Check out that site, save $50 on a 9800 pro 256.
Ive ordered alot of stuff from that site and have never been disappointed in their service.

be VERY careful, you must order the PRO, not the regular 9800.

Hey is there a site I can go to that can tell me what kind of videocard I have? Or anyway of telling?

bulldog if you can save up a bit more cash, go for an x800pro. that card completely stomps the 9800pro's into the ground.

eVGA has the highest clock speeds. their the best manufacturer of NVidia cards. Their pretty cheap if you buy direct from http://www.eVGA.com

Is there a big difference between a video card that has 256MB rather than 128MB?

Not really, doesn't make any impact in performance in videocards at this point in time. Maybe in the next 2 years if you plan on drudging your videocard that long
