The 9600 Battle

I have been looking to update my ATI AIW Radeon 8500 in hopes of playing Half-Life 2 / Doom 3 / other graphics intensive games. I have decided on one of two options:

1) ATI 9600 XT 128MB 500 MHz Clock / 600 MHz Memory ($300 Can.)

or

2) Sapphire Ultimate Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB
400 MHz Clock/300 MHz memory ($255 Can.)

I was wondering how much more the Heatpipe on the Ultimate will allow me to overclock.

just choose from Original (ATi) or OEM (Sapphire), pretty much the same thing, just one is packaged, in this case you're paying $50 for the box..its up to you.

Bullshit. The XT is FASTER and it COMES with HalfLife 2

Does anyone actually have an experience with the Ultimate? If so, I would really like to now how well it overclocks with that heatpipe.
