How limited by my CPU will I be?

[Gunslinger08]

Do you guys know of any reviews of the Radeon X800XT-PE which compares different processors/speeds? I'm wondering how badly my CPU will limit me.

faster than a 6800 ultra in most games except DOOMIII.

With a little CPU overclocking you should be fine. If you're going AGP though, you may want to consider something cheaper (6800NU - 6800GT) unless it's the ATI Refurb deal or you have a good deal on it.

Yeah, it's the ATI refurb deal.

So yeah, go for it. Great card (Especially this cheap!). OC the CPU a little, and enjoy it man.

So that card is AGP? because there are no PCI-e socket A boards as far as I know. I think a Barton at 2.4gig is about the same performance as a 3000+ A64. I think HardOCP did a CPU review once on the A64 and there was a Barton@2.4gig in there.
