the 9800GTX is slightly faster i believe, and the last time i checked it was cheaper...but this should be in the PC hardware discussion forum not PC GAMES

what about the memory amount issue? 9800GTX have 512MB and 8800GTX have 768MB. These issue bothering me.

Again, ask in PC hardware.

Having said that. The only awesome thing about the 9800 GTX is the price. 8800 GTX seems to outperform the 9800-card at higher resolutions (that's where more RAM comes in handy). At least that's my impression after reading the Guru3D-review.

700W PSU is MORE than enough for one GPU.

8800 GTS is still a good card and I would wait at least a year before upgrading.
