where do you live in canada? If you live in ON, there's plenty of places to get it under $280 for the 9800pro. The 9600xt is only about 180 though...however you get 1/3 more performance from the 9800pro
I live in Vancouver and f*ck it ^_^ I am getting a 6800GT because how friggin old is the 9800pro? like 2 or 3 years right? that worries me @_@ so time to shell out some more money and get 6800GT. plus I've always had a special place in my heart for Nvidia 0_0
