9800 Pro, XT or Wait?

Hi all, i'm thinking about making a second system as a back up for a main rig. I have a Abit Siluro FX5800 DOTH Deluxe in my PC as the minute, but i was thinking about getting a 9800 and putting the FX5800 in my second PC. What do you think?

This should be in the video card section (right above imaging and display)

Ok, so I think you should wait. You have a card that could last you a while, while the privces of the new cards like the x800 and 6800 go down. I don't really think it's worth it now if you get a 9800pro. You have a good card, capable of serving you well for at least a couple of months. And by this time, the x800's and 6800's will drop in price. Personally, I'd get a 6800gt.
And I don't think you should consider a 9800XT because for the same price you could easily get an x800 or a 6800 and get twice the performance, and I mean twice literally.
