is it heavier than the 8800gtx?

and if you were to choose between an 8800gtx XXX edition (621mhz) for 290... or this 9800gtx... which would you choose?
Depends on how long your upgrade cycle is. Why get an 8800GTX for 290, when you can get the 8800GTS 512 for 250 or lower though? Then there's really no point to getting the 9800GTX since the 8800GTS is a hundred bucks cheaper.
