    I notice mixed feelings towards the 555 graphics card in ths forum. Is it adequate enough or should I wait to purchase until they update the card? This will be my first gaming machine so not really got anything to compare to. I'm not a techie so please don't blind me with science and statistical comparisons!!

    the card is great.... specially when overclocked! crushes my 2 year old $700 4870x2...... Plays anything i can throw at it! I am kinda sad it crushes my desktop as now the desktop is horribly neglected. I dont know where you see the mixed reviews? but with a slight OC it only hits about 70c
