XP Pro. I just installed the fix. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I can't remember if I said that COD2 had the frozen bot thing happening until I set the affinity right after launching the program but before starting to play. We will see how it goes now.

So, this stuttering that will cause him to only have like 300 fps instead of 500 fps? Pfft, suffer Akooma!

Not quite. It is not a video card issue. Sometimes, it is like playing in slow motion. Other times you are moving faster than a speeding bullet. Sometimes you do the jump forward in time. You get the picture.

All I know is I can't wait for this rig.

Plus I'm getting an ueber mobo. It has plumbing and shit on it *makes Tim Allen manly sound.

Dante's site isn't the easiest to manuever around. I wouldn't even know where to start to make a box like yours.

Nice rig man. I got the same rig, but got the gtx.(see my sig) If i could change anything, i would go for the ASUS Premium and not the Deluxe. Anyway, you should be a happy gamer.

You have dual gtx's?

I couldn't justify the extra bucks for the gtx. Sure it is 24 bits per clock cycle instead of 20. It wasn't worth the extra cash for me. I'll wait for them to come out with a card that processes 30 bits per clock cycle and then I'll pick up the gtx :-)

here u guys r talking bout 24 bits per clcok cycle and im stck here with 4 bits perr clock cycle

There is an interesting review of the 7800 GT on AnandTech.com. An important point people need to understand when choosing to upgrade their video card is to look at their monitor. Most LCD's don't support any higher than 1280x1024. There are a few that support 1600x1200. Even CRT's might limit you. Well, many of the faster video card perform about the same at the "lower" (when did 1280x1024 become LOW?) resolutions. My LCD only supports 1280x1024 so it's a waste for me to upgrade to anything higher than what I have right now(6800 GT). Here is a snippet from the AnandTech article:

We feel that the verdict for 6800 Ultra owners is to hold their cards and wait rather than go for the SLI upgrade. Those with less than last year's high end may be interested in the upgrade to the 7800 GT, but there are some cautions we would make in recommending this card. The current street prices show the 7800 GTX hitting as low as $500 (and a few OEM models are even lower). With many of the 7800 GT cards on the market hovering at $450, throwing the extra $50 at a GTX is a worthy upgrade for the performance increases gained if you need the extra push to get the quality and resolution desired. If high resolution and solid performance are needed, the GTX will not disappoint.

Here is where everything gets a little hairy. Will you be monitor limited by an upgrade? Many very good flat panels will only display up to 1280x1024 or 1600x1200. Owning one of these panels really negates the necessity for a 7800 GTX right now. From the numbers we have seen, the highest end card we would recommend for owners of a 1600x1200 flat panel (who don't get paid for gaming) is the 7800 GT. We would also recommend finding one for $400 rather than paying full price.

Owners of 1280x1024 panels don't really need to spend the money here as even the 7800 GT will run into walls at this resolution. 6800 GT prices are now dropping to $300 and below. At this price point, owners of older systems who haven't taken the high end plunge and don't want to spend the money on 1600x1200 and up panels would do very well to upgrade to a 6800 GT. Even the venerable 128MB 6800 is available at nearly $200.

Full article here.

So, those of you jealous of others video cards take heart. Some of these people "think" they are getting better performance when they are actually paying big $$$$ for the same performance.
