well it doesn't matter. All depends if you want the MSN direct. I did a side to side comparison on another website that literally put the features side to side and that was the only difference. My personal opinion is go with the 580. May as well go with the more recent model. and its only a $10 difference. so spend the extra 10 bucks and go with the updated model.

The current GTS is beaten by the new 8800GT and the 8800GT is only beat by 8800GTX barely. There will be a new revamped 8800GTS later out this month but if you an get your hands on a 8800GT and with a little overclocking you have a superb card at a great deal in your hands. Bonus it has DirectX 10 support.

I just purchased a 550 from Circuit City last week. They are one of the few stores that puts a 550 650 750 side by side. The audio on all 3 was the same, average at best. This is what I found with almost all LCD HDTV with small speakers. I bought the 550 because my eyes could see very little difference if any between the 3. Most difference was the options. The Samsung did have the best picture.

I've tried the 550 and brought the 570. It is the same execpt the 550 has digital sound and the 570 has optical and of course the wireless is available on the 570

Its a worth while upgrade , Even if it will last 1 -2 years before the next gen cards come in. If you sell the 560ti for $100 its a big improvement for $150 moreIf you look at benchmarks its way higher , If i run everything maxed on most new games i get 60fps, with the 560ti that would drop and get glitchy

Thanks Grandmother Philip:-). I also wanted to know the difference between 460 & 560. Too bad there's not a place on the internet wherein you could type the different makes/models for comparison purposes.

Yes, it will. I actually us the 580EX, first version, myself. Works with no issues.

I was going to buy the 570, but it looks like it is being replaced by the 580. Besides the obvious 3D, which I have no use for, are there any differences in wireless capability. Neve have bought LG before, but looks the best make available.

I would check out tomshardware gpu list and see how it stacks up. You will only be able to use 1 of the GPUs since they are from different vendors.

What about the ES8228S? Does anyone know anything about it? I noticed it has a guide at the link above, but there is limited comparative information.

I'm on the fence too, but I think I'm going to go with the 770 over 1100. I've researched the two from tech site to tech site and they've all pointed to the 770 over the 1100. 10mps for $159 with free shipping isn't too shabby. If it turns out to be junk at least I'll give an honest review.

I just got the 630 for $1,034 at USAppliance.com. Also keep your eye on Frys.com, they are currently sold out but I called a store and was told that, once they get more in stock, the 630 will be $1,000.

Gabriel You are doing good to stick on Canon speedlites as your first flash , that way you maintain ETTL metering, a very practical tool. The 580II is great, is the top of the line as of today, the two big differences (among others) between this and the 430II is that the 580 can be a Master wireless control, as the 430 will be only a slave and the 580 is more powerful plus it has a PC cord connector the the 430 does not have. For most regular gatherings and family situations the 430 would do a wonderful job. The 580 is heavier and bigger, and the balance on a XSI is a bit off, but I don't mind that at all, the 430 is a bit lighter. If you are planning to experiment with off camera flash photography, using ETTL, and more Canon Speedlites, the 580II will be a smart investment in my opinion as it offers the master control function, otherwise, the 430II will be great for most amateur and advanced enthusiasts situations. I hope this helps http://photonotes.org/cgi-bin/flash-lookup.pl?flash1=canon430ex&flash2=canon430exii&flash3=canon580exii You'll find a comprehensive list of features of each unit

JT has an Intel i3 proc which is a little nicer and the graphics card is a little newer. For most people the difference is not HUGE. So if your on the fence and you really want to save the $130, the VT is great. I am typing on mine now and I got it almost a year ago. A freind of mine also just got the JT after seeing mine and he loves his as well. Both are great computers. I have Steam on this and play Team Fortress 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Battlefield Bad Company 2 all on this on moderate settings with no problem. I also type reports on it regularly with no issues.

Looking at the speaks on the GTX 560ti ....In my humble opinion I would definitely recommend you upgrade to the 780ti. You will only need one (1) card to run any game you want. I know that every Rig may perform differently and I really don't know if your running all your components on stock speed or OC. The 560ti does not support GPU Boost 2.0 and other new tech NVIDIA has come out with. Using Valley Benchmark my Graphics cards kicks in at 1333MHz with Video Memory at 3500Mhz all max setting with an average FPS of about 85. So will this card outperform to SLI 560ti I would think so. Good luck on your purchase. Looking at the speaks on the GTX 560ti ....In my humble opinion I would definitely recommend you upgrade to the 780ti.

its on the chart in the description, the 550 is vieralink capable and the 350 is not, usually when you have model #s that are close like that, they are pretty much the same except for some small features like compatibility or it has a USB connection etc. in general the higher the number, the more features are included.
