The 64 bit isn't much use at the mo but, it still runs 32 bit very very well and the 32 bit only CPU's are basically in the realms of the basic usage (not serious gaming) these days. The latter comment applies to the AMD CPU's not Intel although, they'll be catching that wave too pretty soon. Sy, your comments were unnecessary and perhaps a little too hopeful. |

| 309719 | 2005-01-03 21:11:00 | I have to agree wth everyone else here :( being an AMD fanboy. As Eat Soap mentioned you would see quite a big improvement in replacing the 5700 with a X800 or 6800GT. That would most likely give you about double the frame rate you are currently getting. I was having a play around with a 5700Q in various systems and had no change in the frame rate between a XP3000 and a Athlon 64 3000 when running the Doom3 timedemo at 1024x768 high detail. Totally different story with the 6800GT ;) The main problem is that you would then limit yourself on the next upgrade to an AMD system as most Intel boards are already PCI-e. |
