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 :D

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 :o ) 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+
