Ordered up an Abit 9550X Turbo Vguru 128mb which arrived today, is basically a 9550 card with a dual bios jumper system, just happens that the 2nd bios is capable of taking the card to 9600XT spec :D

So for my £36 i have a card that will happily clock 523gpu and 394(788mhzDDR!!!) mem, ran ati tool and checked for artifacts and i didnt miss a beat at these speeds, just running a benchmark on the machine now in 3dmark so will post up results in a sec

System spec is

1800+ XP @1543mhz (stock)
512mb of generic DDR2700
Above GFX card

3952 Points.....system has been on benching and me playing games for last 3 hours tho, so is a tad hot.

Damn respectable for a £60 machine

gfx card was free too hehe, building a budget machine for lady at work, and she agreed to buy me that card with the bits for her machine as payment for building her rig up :D :D :D SCORE!

THE BLACK BEAST RULES!
 
lololol, i reckon if i give it overnight to cool down and give it a kick in the teeth first thing it may hit the magic mark, could try push the clock a lil bit further and see what i can do :D
