Default Which 9600GSO?

Ok, I have an MSI P6N mobo and Have decided on four 9600GSO's for folding, the question is : Which brand of 9600GSO should I get, and where should I get it from. Or since it will be solely for folding 99% of the time, does it really matter between the G92 and G94 chips and the number of shaders?

Thanks guys, and remember with each bit of help I can get, I come closer to bringing another monster folding rig online.

You want more shaders, but that's all I know as far as the cores.

I'd say get the cheapest, reputable brand you trust.

ie, EVGA or BFG > MSI > Sparkle

Although I'm sure some people will say Sparkle > MSI out of some intense hate.

EVGA or XFX would be my choice.
For folding, you'd like to have more shaders. It helps the most in folding.

Look for the 384MB ones. The newer 512MB versions are useless without the extra shaders.

Look for 384mb or 768mb versions. 256mbb and 512mb are crippled 9600GT's (less sp's)

It's a bit difficult to find the G92 (96 shaders) versions of the 9600GSO, so you may need to go used. I just did some quick searching and couldn't find any new G92's online.

384Mb 96SP will be your best bet for folding. Shader mhz and amount as well as memory clock matter most for it. If you can look for the 768Mb GDDR3 Version
