The FX5600 isn't fast enough to run any games that require 256 MB of memory.
Save your $30 and get the VTDR128.


Is the FX5600 video cards generally ****e over all or a worthy upgrade?
I thought I saw people saying that if it wasn't an 'Ultra' then don't
bother. But the local supplier doesn't seem to have any 'Ultra' type
cards.
Is there really a big diifference?

Looking at either a MSI FX5600-VTDR128 (CAN$237) or MSI FX5600-TDR256
(CAN $267).
The only differences I see are that the VTDR has VIVO capabilities with
the fancy remote control which don't excite me as I have another PC for
playing movies on the TV.
Any other pro\cons between either card? I was leaning towards the
5600-TDR256 to get more RAM on the card.
Running an AMD 2400+ and using it for games like HL2 which is out soon.

Any thoughts?
