Hi,
i'm wondering if anybody has a 1.8ghz (3.0+ghz rating) that was not overclocked and what's your gaming experience with it.
i bought this around a year ago and finally decided i should upgrade my video card. i had a AIW 600pro which i used mainly for watching tv(and rarely at that, will probably ebay it after i switch) but decided i want a new video card for gaming purposes. i was thinking of the new 7900gt (which i hear will retail for 300) or the x1800gto whichever seems to be the better value for performance. i also bought a new antec 550 tp2 psu so it should be able to handle any single graphics card.
i was thinking of getting the 6800gs but i think waiting for a few weeks would be worth it in the long run since the new cards are coming out in a week or 2.
anyways what i'm most interested in is what graphics do you have with this cpu and how was your gaming experience? resolution? fps? did it seem like it was too cpu limited? or did it not make much of a difference. would you upgrade you cpu if it was within your budget?
and before anybody say why dont you upgrade or oc your cpu, it's because im thinking of eventually just replacing most or all of the system in 6months - 1yr or so when the new AM2 boards comes out (and i could get a athlon 64 X2 cpu with it) so this is just a temporary solution till then. besides, i dont like OC, it's just my general paranoid with keeping a CPU comfortable and happy (even though every site says i should OC this)
