A good, easy conversion rate: 1 pound = 2 us dollars (yep, the us dollar is really low). So that would be about 150 pounds. True, x700 is a bit less. Looking at the specs, it's a bit faster on paper...*checks tom's hardware*
The x700 and 9800 are very similar. BUT!!! It appears that the x700 pro actually outperforms the 9800 pro. In UT2004, it got almost 40 fps more than the 9800. On Doom 3, it got about 10 fps more. In general, it performs about 20% better than the 9800 pro. SO why is the pro more expensive? Ati's pushing PCI-Express...
My suggestion: Get the X700 Pro.
