Difference between 6550D and 6530D?

[ultra619]

I am wondering because it is a $20 difference?

texture units:20-16
clock:600-443

It's not much difference but they also come on different cpu speeds. Is it worth it? Maybe, depends on what you use your pc for. If it for htpc you could save money and go even lower. If it's for gaming, you shouldn't be looking at apus unless this is a low budget laptop.

im on a really tight budget of $380 and ive been saving all that up from the summer, i will not get more money any time soon. and my PC can die on me at anytime.

i want to play modern games at 1440x900

In your new build thread, you were suggested a much much better gaming rig than an a series.

Prices have changed so I would suggest changing some of those parts.

Is the build from the first link good? no one responded on how good it was.

They're both the same, no one would suggest a bad build. Again I would suggest changing some parts because of price changes, maybe make a new thread if you're buying this week.
