Hello,

Trying to figure out which card would be faster, don't care about graphical fideality that much. Using the radeon atm and its working pretty good. Although i run most of my games at low resolutions so i can't tell the difference.

Version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
System Model: Inspiron 530
System Type: X86-based PC
Processor: x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 13 GenuineIntel ~2194 Mhz
BIOS Version/Date: Dell Inc. 1.0.18, 2/24/2009
SMBIOS Version: 2.5
Total Physical Memory 4,096.00 MB
GPU : Radeon 5550
PSU: Basiq 500 watt
Average running temp: 30-40 c, (can spike to 45-50c when gaming)

Thanks,
Aaron.

The 8600 GT OC has the 512mb ddr3 and i'm not sure about the model of it, nothing on the box.

The Radeon 5550 with the 1gb ddr2 has alot of information but i'm not sure what your looking for. The device id is :68DA.
