Up here in Canada, I have two places that I can buy these cards from but the HiS x1950 AGP 512MB is about $50 cheaper on sale right now. Basically the HiS is $270 CDN at ncix.com and the Sapphire is $320 locally at Memory Express (but this means returns are easier).
The Sapphire I think is clocked a little faster and has 2 molexes for power while the HiS has a PCI-E power connector. Is it worth it for me to spend the extra for the Sapphire?
What is the difference between these cards? (both are the slim cooler version, I need to put it into a Shuttle). I'd also need to get a molex to pci-express adapter but part of me says that powering the sapphire with two molexes makes more sense because I only have a 250w PSU in the Shuttle.
