Hi Simon,

It had faster ram :) Should have put that in the previous email. The 220 
will do what you need too :)

I wanted to do 1080, with HDMI audio, both the 430 and the 450 "handles" 
it on paper. I can assure you the 450 does. I would not doubt the 430 
can do it.

The recent price hike could be because they changed the cards.

The range goes 2x0 -> 4x0 -> 5x0 (?) etc

Hope that helps !

Pieter
