Hiya Lew,

I'd be interested in knowing what kind of frame rate you get in AH. once you're up and running. I just swapped out a GF3 Ti-200 64 meg card for the Radeon 9800 Pro 128 meg card ($219 retail).

Mine went from 65ish to 72 ish - CAN WE SAY "DISAPPOINTMENT"?

I've yet to do any tweaking on the card, and granted, my CPU is an ancient P4 1.9 Ghtz

signed,
Curious Max

Yes, you are proc limited I'm afraid. I went from a Ti500 Gf3 to a Radeon 9800 Pro (Via a 5700 Ultra

) and I don't get an amazing improvement in AH.

(AH2 is worse with the raddy than the 5700 Ultra, but this is a known issue).

I have a XP2000+

Nice work Silat, you've definitely done your homework on ALL those components

Good to hear you're up and running! Did you get that stick problem worked out?
