go for the 5550...cause it has 128bit and 2gb memory....but if the price difference is too much then go for the cheaper one

5550 is slightly faster. look at this chart to compare gpus http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card-game-performance-radeon-hd-6670,2935-7.html

5550 are faster than 4650. but the 2GB of RAM for such a card are not really useful. even if the extra RAM will benefit at high resolution or to crank up the setting that use more memory such as AA and AF i don't think the card have enough raw power to process more complex calculation needed when high level AA or AF was applied. eventually even 1GB of RAM is quite a waste but normally most low-end and mid-range ATI now come with 1GB memory. in short if you can find 5550 with 1GB memory i think it will be a better buy
