who the hell even uses a 450w for gaming these days
My PSU is 150W and I'm playing this game fine.
This guy is obvious troll, or he believe that someone else will believe in that bullcrap xD
DDR2, hmm..., DDR3 would be better.
ya but DDR3 cost more i don't have the money to spend.
It should work just fine,even with DDR 1 it should work fine,and his proc is not that old since its a rebranded Phenom 1.I think it has to do with his version of win 64 bit.I have Athlon II X2 although clocked at 3.6.and it works fine.
On the side note which cpu do you have.Standard one or the Energy Efficient? is yours model number 235e or 215?
It's not about working fine or not, it's about performance. If you have Win XP then you best choice will be DDR2, if you have Win7 then bet option is DD3 because you can get few % more performance than using DDR2 on Win7.

ok I thought about it and I am going to return this cheap power source for a 600W not so cheap power source and see how it works.
Don't look at PSU price or even how much Watt it have, look at company which is making PSU and what is said in specification. Your system will be fine with 450-500W IF your PSU will be good quality. And frankly if you are not overclocking anything good quality 450W PSU should be ok.
What is still bugging me is your CPU which actually can hold back your graphic card and stead of using full power of that 550Ti you get half of it o.O
What was your earlier graphic card?
