I know I've been driving you guys crazy with these card polls, but anyway I'd like to know what's your recommendation (BTW, my budget is currently ~211$, 950NIS):

Option 1: Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800SE (TV-out+DVI) with 128MB of DDR memory for ~204$ (914NIS)
Option 2: PowerColor ATI Radeon 9600PRO EZ (WTF?) (TV-out+DVI) with 256MB of DDR memory for ~209$ (941NIS)
Option 3: **This is the one that I'm almost sure I want, try to convince me otherwise.** Innovision GeForce FX 5700 (TV-out+DVI) with 256MB of DDR memory for 157$ (708NIS)
BTW, what does SE mean? Sucky Edition :D ?

Some stuff I want to say:
I really think I'll need 256MB, so tell me why I should get 128MB instead.
IMO the 9800SE is out of the question, simply because:
1. It's SE. That sucks.
2. It has 128MB of memory. That sucks even more.

Now, the real deal is between the 9600PRO and the 5700.
The 5700 costs WAY less, and if I search a 5700 that costs near the 210$ I'd find the exact same thing under ASUS or Gainward. Here, I'll give some more options:

Option 4: Palit GeForce FX 5700 (TV-out+DVI) with 256MB of DDR memory for 188$ (850NIS) Important note about this one: this is a (Dammit, I have no idea how to translate that into English... Well..) group-based purchase :D, and it closes today @ 23:30 GMT+02:00.

Option 5: Wait... No option here. I found an Albatron GFFX 5700U Ultra with 128MB of DDR-II with TV-out and DVI support for 233$ (1050NIS), but that totally exceeds my budget.

Budget detail:
My parents give me 600NIS (133$), I put 200NIS (44$) [That's all I got, I wasted loads of cash for a new hard drive (400NIS) and for 2x128MB of new RDRAM (750NIS) and the rest I had just got wasted by non-computer related random purchases], and my brother puts 150NIS (33$). But I can make him give me an extra 100NIS (enough to buy option 5) if you guys write down some really convincing sh**.

OMFG I just wrote an autobiography ;]

Currency details:
1$ = ~4.5nis... on May 27th, it's worth 4.57.
