9600 Pro vs. 9600 Pro EZ

What is the performance difference between the Ati 9600 Pro and Ati 9600 Pro
EZ cards?
there's a $50 dollar price difference. I know the EZ card uses 200x2 memory
and the Non-EZ uses 300x2. Is the gaming performance going to be that huge?

Does anybody know of any benchmarks to compare these two cards, like
framerate differences etc.?

 

The price difference is only six dollars at newegg, so there's really no reason to buy the EZ.
Another thing to consider is that sixty bucks more gets you a 9700PRO; add an additional twenty
dollars and you've got a 9800PRO.

My thought process exactly, which is why I ended up with a 9800 pro.

 

I only have around $150 to spend, which is still 50 dollars over my budget.
So, It looks like I'll be buying the Ati 9600 XT 128mb. Seems like the best
bang for the Buck kind of card.
Just thought I could find some benchmarks somewhere to see if I Really need
a more expensive card, or if the framerate difference is not that
noticeable.

 

Here are a few::
