I'm in a similar situation. I'd like to have something within the next 5 weeks. The Sony Vaio Pro 11 is my favorite so far, but was hoping for something with the 5000 over the 4400.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4938558&Sku=H94-2804 $250 with 3ms seems like a pretty low price. Any opinions on this for general surfing, occassional RTS / MMO gaming?

The ASUS 4550 came in yesterday, popped it in. CCC keeps crashing upon launch (even after uninstall/reinstall) so I can't get temp readings, but things seem positive so far.

I did order the ASUS 4550 , today was the last day to do so and get the $10 MIR, plus the ASUS has a 3 year warranty. What do you use for Metal cutting?

I went to CCC to check the Sapphire 4550's temps and it ran between 95-110 most of the day watching a couple SD playbacks. Once I put on HD content it peaked at 118. I stepped out of the room to check this thread and the HTPC just shut off after about 30 hours of installation. I will send...

I was using HW Monitor. I'll try CCC tonight to see if I can find it.

I popped the fanless 4550 in last night with no issues. Unfortunately, the card has no temperature sensor so I can't get the card's temp, but the rest of the systems' temps are normal. The case gets hot, but it was always hot with my 2400 / 3450 's in there. The only weird issue I'm having is...

Regardless, I'll find out tonight.

I'll be receiving this 4550 for my s3220n today... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102819 It will be up slotted next to my tv tuner and it has a fanless design. I read deeper on a few user reviews stating it gets hot. Should I be concerned about the heat output...

The only difference I see between the ASUS and Sapphire is the ASUS has a 1450mhz memory bus and Sapphire has 800mhz. ASUS is out of stock, but the Sapphire will be good enough for me.
