right now i am being tempted by open box cards at newegg....its tempting to get a 4350 low profile card and volt mod the crap out of it and see how far it flies for $24, hell i dont even need to go open box to get one for $24....although the 4650 is tempting too at $50....decisions decisions.

what do you guys think? stick with the onboard 3300 with 128 megs of ram or hybrid cross fire it with a volt modded to hell cheepo 4xxx card untill i can get the 48xx with 1 gig od DDR5 on it?

i cant afford high end cards right now, well i could but i need my $2k to live the next little bit and i need to get a case and thats going to run my $100 so my allloted computer fund is tapped out.

48xx because i dont know if i am going 70 or 90

What do you play at the moment and what res? If you just want to vmod and oc like crazy a 4650 ain't that bad :) or 4670.

i thought about that but thats alot of money for a card that may go up in smoke, unless theres a smokin open box deal or something

my other problem is trying to figure out if its a reference card with an existing mod or a propritary card that alot of people have bought and theres a mod already
