Just grab the cheapest one

Then if the difference is great enough, you might be able to grab a Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 for better cooling performance and overclocking potential

BFG, EVGA and XFX all offer lifetime warranty IIRC. They're competing with each other heheh

XFX actually offers a DOUBLE LIFETIME WARRANTY in North America. So, the warranty from the card will transfer over to the next person who owns the card after yourself

That being said, I'd take the Galaxy over the Zotac because of the cooling... But if the price is only a $10-$20 difference, I'd take an XFX or EVGA brand over both Galaxy or Zotac, if for nothing else than the warranty and brand recognition.

I'm from Malaysia, I just asked a seller for XFX, as i'm interested in XFX 9600GT XXX, which the price difference is around RM40 (10+ USD)

But he told me that the warranty for XFX in malaysia is only 2 years!! not lifetime warranty let alone DOUBLE lifetime warranty

HIS warrenty is 2 years, you register your card with the xfx/bfg/evga website and they give you a lifetime warrenty.
