also support for PureVideoHD which enables hardware decoding of
VC-1 in addition to WMV and MPEG-2 HD. IT comes is equipeed with
256MB or 512MB of DDR2 or GDDR3.

and the reference specs are:  

• Stream processors: 32
• Core clock: 550 MHz
• Shader clock: 1400 MHz
• Memory clock: 800 MHz
• Memory bus width: 128 bits
• Memory bandwidth: 25.6 GB/s
• Already there are two different variations of the 9500
  GT available, both faster than the reference model.

EVGA model, clocked at Core: 550MHz; Shaders: 1400MHz; Memory: 1000MHz.

$69.99, this offers a 25% increase in memory speed over the reference model.

And the GIGABYTE model, overclocked to Core: 700MHz; Shaders: ???; Memory: 1600MHz.
$89.99, this card comes with a major boost in performance
compared to the main card, up to 36%, according to GIGABYTE.

9800 GT:
Based on a G92(b) core comes with 112 stream processors and speeds of
600/1500/900 MHz for the gpu core, shader core and also memory. The specs are quite identical to
those of the GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB but it sets itself
apart with the HybridPower support.

9800 GTX+
is also equipped with a G92b and has HybridPower, but there are
