There is not much difference when I bought my Phenom II 560 last month. I was hoping for more.

I agreed. Make you all the connections properly connected before turn it on.

I'm in. Thanks

Try sell it now as the price only go lower. You can always buy new one if you have the cash.

MSI, way to go. Thanks

Best: ATi 9800 pro Worst: Geforce 2 MX

2GB is fine for me. But I'm upgrading to 8gb with some black Friday deals. :)

Q2 is perfect. That give me sometimes to save up some $$$ for next upgrade. :)

I think it's not worth it unless you have $$$ to go for the high end.

Very useful info. as I got a crappy PSU 430W that can only produce 350W.

Just came back from out of town trip, thanks for all feedback. Wow. I didn't know I got such a crappy PSU. it seem like there is no easy solution for a low $50 upgrade. So, I think I will keep my $50 and save more for next upgrade. I will keep looking for the BF deal and the FS. Let's see...

I have the Thermaltake TR2 430W power supply. Is it good enough for the 8800gt? My system: AMD 550, MSI 785gt motherboard, 2gb DDR (just ordered 4gb), 1.5tb WD green HD, 2 more old HD 400gb, 1 pci wifi card. That's about what I can remember.

Thanks for the comments. I dont game much these days so I think I just need a little boost. And yes I agreed that I should spend money where it give me more bang for the buck. I dont like rebate, so I can only afford the ATI 5450 which isnt any good according to the techspot's review. So...

Hi all, I have a AMD 550 (unlocked 4 cores) with 4200 iGPU (ATI 785). I have $50 budget for video upgrade. The AMD published chart only showing 3450 and 3470 Hybrid with 790 chipset. Which video card should I choose for this little budget that can hybrid crossfire with my 4200 iGPU...

Agreed. 550BE.
