The 9800 non-pro isnt garbage. Its about on par with the 9700pro. And if you are adventurous, and can find the right model, it can be flashed to a 9800pro (note - not for anyone but the most savy users).

The xt is a very little amount of performance gain for the extra price (+$200) over the 9800pro 128mb. Thats what I would recoomend is the 9800pro128mb.

Any ATI pro series card is supposed to come with HL2 for some time frame. Go to ATI and look for details.
