Buying a 9800GX2... help!

I recently decided to buy the latest and greatest graphics card: the nVidia eVGA 9800GX2. Even though it might be a few months before I can get my hands on one (I'm a HS student with no job), I decided to start researching the card. I went to amazon and found that they ranged for $529 to $604. Yet to me, they all seem the same. Is there any difference between those cards, or a some people just overly optimistic in their sales prices?

Thanks!

They'll differ in things like the amount of memory on them, the processor clock speed, number of pipelines for data etc

Different companies may put addons onto the card, here is the link to the 'factory set' product to make a comparison to the ones your seeing: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce9.html

Awesome, thanks for the link, warlord. Provides a nice comparison between the baseline and the one I chose. TTFN
