It probably won't improve your performance. I think it has lower memory usage (mine right now is taking 20 megs, g400 running two monitors) -- but I have no hard numbers. THe only reason to upgrade right now is because you like to play with neat toys, or like providing quality bug reports. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/
