    the 9550 uses a 9600 non pro vpu so you should beable to clock that to about 350mhz core if you want,

    I put a 9550 in my wife's machine and it almost keeps up to the 9600Pro my son has! Great card for the money. It is also a true DX9 part as opposed to the Nvidia that is only DX 8.1.

    I'd also go for the 9550, and as for overclocking, my 9600 does 440mhz core, but with some rather exotic cooling...
