It sounds like enough to me but then I'm typing this on a 770. Seriously, it really does, and I am.

You will be hard pressed to notice any performance difference between 1.7 and 1.8.

Your best performance upgrade on this system would be to get a Hitachi 7200rpm hard drive. Either the 7K60, or better yet, 7K100.

I'd upgrade to the 60gb 7200rpm HD. I have pretty much the exact system + the 60gb 7.2k rpm HD and I LOVE it.

get the 740 1.73
for couple of cents more you get bigger bus and newer chip!!!
i belive its the first one to come out with some sort of technology which fights with software hanging issues, i personally dont completly understand what it is but sounds cool anyway!!!!
