Ok, as some of you may know I've got a 9800 XT in this system now, but for some reason it's not acting as fast as it should be. With all settings set to highest in UT2004 and at any resolution, my frame is the same and drops badly in ONS games (10-40 on avg). Half-Life 2 also runs like this, which has lead me to believe the graphics card is too fast for my CPU.
The Athlon XP 3000+ 400MHZ FSB is just a re-named version of the 3200+ (it's approx 33MHZ slower than the 3200+, and i've heard Windows actually picks it up as a 3200+).
Linky to it: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=55149
My system spec:
Asus A7V600-X Motherboard
Athlon XP 2400+
1.28GB PC2700 DDR Memory
ATI Radeon 9800 XT
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Tagan 480W PSU
As you can also see, my memory is PC2700, which it's running in PC2100 at the moment since the FSB of my 2400+ is 266MHZ, so not only will UT2004 have the extra L2 cache + CPU power, it will also have the extra memory bandwidth.
So, any ideas if this will help my frames?
Thanks!
