What is decent from the following list of sale items at
the local electronics supercenter (Fry's Electronics)? I
currently run a GeForce2 MX400:

PNY 128MB DDR GeForce FX5200 8X AGP $79-$30 rebate=$49.

Diamond 256MB DDR ATis Radion 9200 $109-20 rebate=$89.

PCI-Express nVIDIA GeForce FX 5750 128MB DDR no rebate $149.

ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB DDR 8X AGP, TV, Vid capt, $299.

Thoughts or opinions? Prices are in US$. Fry's has a world
wide reputation for not honoring rebates so I generally
ignore them when price shopping.

I'd go with one of the last two, but I'd also check to see if they have
the regular 9800 Pro (should be closer to the price of the nV5750).
Personal preference is 9800 Pro.
