Hi Xeyed.

I was thinking about saying that there wouldn't be an improvement because of the bus width. But then I got to thinking that nowadays all graphics crunching is done on the GPU's esp. with the games that use openGL & direct3d. I do think that this would be a noteable improvement. My understanding is that the mx440 is a pretty low end card and I think on games you would see a huge improvement.

Just stay away from the 5600.... (Based on comments I have seen here!)
