I would like to know this also. I've searched google and some said it was 5700 LE... so maybe it is.

I actually have the BFG FX5500 OC 256 pci. I have the BF2 demo and it plays alright with settings low. FX5700 LE may still be better though.

yeas suprisingly the 5700 le wil almost be twice as good. A 5500 is just an overclocked 5200, and i believe the 5700 is an entirly diffferent core.

I agree .. I think the 5700 chipset is more in line with the 5950 chips. I had a 5600 and the 5700 was considerably better, unlike the difference btween a 5200 and my 5600. Unfortunately the LE version is a bit lacking of the 5700 or the 5700Ultra but those aren't available in PCI where the 5700LE is.
