Sgt. Rock, you must get like 9999 FPS on all games with that setup! How much it all cost you?

Lol, well I havent encountered a game yet that I cant play on everything maximum (except resolution, I can only hit 1280 x 1024, moniter limitation :D :p )

But it did cost me around 1800 dollars, though the OP's computer outclasses mine by a little.

AMD X2 4800+ (CPU)
4GB Dual channel DDR PC3200 (RAM)

Runs what I need, the only game that really puts pressure on it is Oblivion, but I despise that anyway - RPG my arse; Fallout was an RPG, not this POS.

Anyway.

Because a good sound-card could add as much as 5-10 FPS to your games, onboard sound eats resources and does not support many features, its often a bottle-neck in peoples system.

If you upgraded with a proper sound-card you could very well see an overall boost in FPS, and certainly less negative spikes in FPS (thease can occur when system memory and CPU is beeing redirected to render many sounds, something any decent sound-card should do on its own).


Its not all about sound quality, its just as much about system performance, and an Audigy-2 for instance is not very expensive thease days, its a cheap upgrade that could make quite the difference in some systems.

Just some freindly advice ;)

God forbid that's a PCI FX5200 card...Dell screwed me over on that part where their motherboards didn't even give me AGP slots.

You're better off waiting for "conroe" from intel, due out sometime in July. Do a search on it. From the looks of things its gonna be at least a year before AMD have something that compares in terms of performance. This will be my first Intel chip since my P120 :D. Just got a crappy XP2400+ atm with a Geforce 6800LE

I know. I've been meaning to upgrade for quite a while now. I'm hoping to get my hands on a XFX GeForce 6800 within a month or two. Unfortunately I don't have any PCIe slots, so Im a little limited.

For anyone with lower end video cards (GeForce 5200? Yikes!) I have a GeForce 6600GT (AGP) that is now unused. Would be happy to see it have a new home; especially with an RO player!

EDIT: Oh yeah, system specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (AM2)
Motherboard: ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe
RAM: 1GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Platinum Dual Channel EL
Video: eVGA Geforce 7600GT 256MB
HD: 74GB WD Raptor
Sound: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS
Screen: 19" Acer LCD (6ms response time)

Runs great with 4xAA and everything maxed!

So many poor bastards have Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. Do you love that 9000rpm mobo cooler?

Here' s mine:

Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Amd Athlon 64 Venice 3500+ @ 2,6 GHz (so that's about 4100+)
Palit 7800GTX 490/1300
2x 1024MB 520 MHz DDR RAM.

That's all.
