Do you guys think I can get much more out of my 5600 (see sig) by using some AS5, ram heatsinks and a larger gpu fan+AS5 than what I have now? I only got the POS 2 months ago and I'm trying to fend off buying a 9800 until the xseries and 66-6800s have been out long enough to plummet their prices.

It might be at it's limits already but If the card has more in it,AS5 and a better cooler will squeeze it out.

hmmm,I dont think the possible slight increase in speed would be worth the price of a new cooler.Might as well keep saving for the agp 6600gt like me.
