9800 Pro help

[Emultra]

What would you say is the minimum CPU specs to utilize the 9800 Pro? I was thinking about getting an XP 2600-2800+, is that enough?

 

[Algere]

Yes

Yes it is enough, but it does not matter you can have it in Pentium 3

Really? But that would incur a heavy penalty on the video cards potential to perform, wouldn't it? What I'd like to know is where those performance gains start to die out.

I run with one on a 2100+@2600+. I would say it's a pretty well balanced system. Of course a faster CPU would give me more fps, but so would a better video card

The 3000+'s are overpriced as far as I've seen, so a 2700+ should do well, then.

I have one on an Thalox Xp1800 and runs just fine, and also gives me good D3 timedeomos as well ( for the card cpu and ram on the pc that is ).

On a p3 it would run but I dont know if there are mobos of P3's that support x8 Agp i fink they only got up to x4 and many are x2...

2500+ is enough!
