9600 with old CPUs

[Ruckas]

I'm curious if anyone knows a website that benchmarks new chips (like a 9600 pro) with old processors.. Like low level AMD xps and old socket 423 pentium 4's..

Thanks, Ruckas-

the lowest level athon xps and P4s are not considered old, just not top of the line. an athlon xp 1500 with a 9600 pro will kick arse in games, so would a 1.5Ghz p4 willy with a 9600 pro.

I upgraded from an 8500 to a 9800NP. My CPU stayed the same, being an o/c Tualatin at 1.4 GHz. The frame rate increased by 50% in Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. Perhaps it is overkill. Perhaps not. All I can say is that I am happy with it.

Here are the results I got on a T-bird 1.2ghz. > Link
