    i'd sell it.. it wouldn't compare to a 4850 so u'd nver want to downgrade.. however , if ur 4850 dies , u won't have backup.. i'd take the risk and sell it... 4850's have been reliable..

    Since I've gone for an fx 3700m I also have a 9600m that I need to sell, once you get the 4850 working I would suggest selling the 9600m (so I vote yes).
