I just got my 9600 pro 256 today I installed and I must say it smoked my msi rx9550se it raised my FPS at least 33% on DOOM 3 and 50% on Guild wars Tribes vengeance went all the way to 75- 80 fps with out as much as a stutter or a flicker and that was with default clocking speeds my AQUAMARK scores went from 18600 to 24900 the only thing I was a little surpised at how it wouldnt take very much overclocking I couldnt get it over 450/222x2 with out artifacts and freezing up I had to try some diffrent drivers at first, the words were blurry on my desktop at the 1024x768 res but I got the omega 4.8 catalyst drivers and they clearefd it up very crisp and sharp much nicer than the ATI 5.4 catalyst wierd huh??? I got this card for $89.00 delivered I am very happy with it for now in 6 months when the next gen of ATI comes out I will be willing to dump $300.00 on a card if I had done that now I would be crying and whineing when the new cards hit this fall. nothing personal but the 9600 pro is twice the card of the 9550 and just a few dollars more. I have every right to say that, but my 9550 did play every game I threw at it the last year and a half, and they were some cutting edge very demanding games so on a scale from 1 to 10 I give the 9550 a 8 in dependabilty/stability and a 5 in preformance not bad for a starter card: )

unless I am missing something it isnt good to run 2 diffrent speeds of ram, you would probably get more preformance if you just ran the stick of 400 the 333 just causes a bottle neck, maybe you know something I dont try running the 3dmark with just the 400 and check your scores

I believe the DDR400 will default down to 333MHz.
I would like to get an opinion on what people think the maximum GPU/MEM timmings for a 9550 are...i have my MSI 9550 256MB up to 499/249.....right now im not pushing my video card because i have no idea how hot its running and i don't want to burn it out...should i try to push my memory timmings a little more?
The memory type is:
Infineon HYB25D256160BT-5 256 MBit 5.0 ns TSOP-II 66
Any help would be great.
