    Who here has updated there Gs1n with the T5550 and GF 9500M GS GPU?

    If so how playable are games like Stalker Clear Sky, and Crysis Warhead?

    I get 8fps in Crysis Warhead unless I put everything to min then I get 12-15fps.

    With Clear Sky I get 15fps with most stuff turned up but not maxed out.

    Please post what kind of FPS improvements you have seen with the upgrade.

    Thanks

    Your bottleneck is the gpu, esp with those very contemporary high-end games. A bump in the cpu speed is unlikely to give you more than modest improvement in final fps numbers :(.

    I figured that but some people say they are seeing double FPS, e.g. 15 to 25-30fps with the T9300. I just wanted to see if anyone else is seeing this?

    Thanks
