I am currently running an ECS NFORCE4-A754, Sempron 3400(2.0ghz@2.34) 1gb(2x512) Gigaram PC3200 2.5 3 3 7, and a x800GTO2 unlocked w/16 pipes, 555 core and 615(1230 effective) I got build this computer on a budget in mid-october, and am unsatisfied with performance in newer games(Quake4,Fear,COD2) so as of xmas day(thanks family and friends) I am getting an MSI Neo Platinum 939 mobo, Athlon 64 4000, 2GB OCZ Gold PC4000 DDR500(already in the mail

) and an Evga 7800gtx 256(470/1200 out of the box)... I sure do hope that cuts it for me.. as far as graphics cards go, ive played with my gto2 a whole bunch, and really like it. Most games, like
Far Cry, Painkiller, Battlefield 2 er whatever I can rip through at 16x12, maybe with some AA depending on game, but newer stuff like FEAR I run in 1024 with AA, which in my mind looks like crap.. I could get a Zalman or an Artic Cooler for my card and potentially see a 600mhz core, but I would still be lacking shader model 3.0 and my
doom engine performance would still suffer behind the top n cards. With games coming out early next year utilizing the DOOM3 Engine such as PREY, and ENEMY TERRITORY QUAKE WARS, I would hate to be left behind playing in low resolutions with low framerates..
