    Should i?

    I currently have a GeForce 2 MX in my box. I am thinking of upgrading, and previously have used a G200, G400, and like them.

    What I want to know is, will I see any sort of performance increase if I purchase a G550?

    The machine is an Ath 1700+ btw, and it definately maxs out the GeForce.

    I use my machine mostly to play UnrealTournament, and other 3D games - should I just wait for the mythical Parphelia to make an appearance?

    Whatever I do, this box must be capable of playing UT2 and U2 when they hit the shelves

    Cheers for any comments...

    A G550 would be a performance downgrade, maybe you should wait and see if Matrox actually launches something, and if so if it's competitive and within your pricerange.

      It depends if you consider "performance" to be quality and features or quantity
