I can't remember[:@]put it in about 6 months ago. I was in a "ragin' hurry" to get something together that would work with my motherboard and leave me enough money for my BFG 7800GT OC. I should still have the box though. I do know it is a 939 socket...did that on purpose so that I could put a faster one in later without having to switch my board out...I have a nice board....PCI-x 1gig fsb....lots of slots for add-ons...dual channel ram capable, that I am happy to say I am taking atvantage of with my 4 matched sticks of 512mb pc 3200...SATA and IDE so I can use my old HD and upgrade to the new ones as fast as I can convince my wife that I "need it" lol. Oddly enough, that chip is one of my choke points now....DAMN THE UPGRADES![:@][&:][:'(][&o]
I don't know....250 to 300 fps should really be enough you would think lol
I will probably try to upgrade in about 6 months to somewhere in the neighborhood of a 4200+ (we will see what new egg has then) and when I do I will let you know with an email through your SPAWNPOINT profile email.
As a foot note....the soundblaster X-fi I have is probably almost as responsible for my better game play as my 7800GT OC is...it's almost like having a "sound hack" ....much, much easier to tell not only where people are coming from, but how close they are around the corners and how many there are....unbelievably better than my Audigy was...gives me a better chance of starting my "pre-firing" around corners and stuff. I think OPREP said it all when he made the post in my DOMINATING! good or bad thread...always one step ahead...that's the way I feel with this sound card.....was worth the $150 for sure in my oppinion.
