    Why not save some money and get a 4400 and overclock it?

    PS: Gainward (see sig)

    Right does the gainward come with the goggle things? Also you say overclock a 4400 to a 4600 but why can't I overclock the 4600 and get even better results??

    Well you could do that, but I was suggesting saving some money. A 4600 can be over £100 more than a 4400, with a 4400 usually being able to match 4600 speeds if you bump up the clock/mem speeds.

    If you want to spend the extra £100 (or $) and get the 4600 and overclock that... then go right ahead. Never said you couldn't :p

    Volt modding allows you to adjust the voltage to the core and the memory. Making it easier to get a stable overclock.

    If I were you I'd stick with a 4400, I get over 10,000 points on 3DMark2001 with my rig. I got the Leadtek because it was less than £200, which in my opinion is a bargain.

    rK@NE you seem to know your stuff when it comes to gf4's should I enable AGP fast write on my mobo bios? Also what mem speed and gf speed have people clocked the gainward 4600 up to do you know of any sites that show this?
