been doing some reading on these. The 9550 comes in several flavors 250 and
400 core, 64 and 128 bit memory so it makes a huge difference which one you are looking. Similarily, the 9600 non-pro has some variations but not as much. A 9550xt 400 core 128 bit memory gets close to 9600 pro speeds A 9550 250 core 128 bit is close to 9600 and a 9550 250 core 64 bit is just too slow. The 9550 tend to score better on 3dmark03 and trail quite a bit on 3dmark01 which suggests some shader? optimization. I have seen no evidence of the 9550 being a good overclocker - I was hoping. For the $25 bucks extra I would still buy the 9600. "Paul Liebrand" wrote in message om...
