Would Ethier of them even get over 30fps??? Also thinking about going ahead and getting a ati2600?
What do you think??

deffently do not get the 8400.
that x1550 might get over 30FPS.
I would go ahead an get a 2600 like your thinking about

Actually, 8400GS performs much better than X1550pro

X1550pro has only 4 pipelines

You can get 7600GT for a little

its only the ati 3650 and not the 3850, but at eighty bucks its impossible to beat

HD3650 perform just like HD2600pro, so no it won't beat 8600GT

[Bob Jeffery]

HD3650 performs worse that both HD2600XT and 8600GT in gaming

You can get 8600GT for $72 after MIR, and it comes with a free game
