ArisEve: again i must apologize wont go into detail.... read the PM
Pretty nice box, i found some reviews of the NV30, they claim 2x the speed of the ti4600 and xbox chip and 4x FSAA without a preformence hit. as well as dx 8.1 and 8x agp, those are gonna be some killer cards

Well I made my mistake with the raedon. I should of stayed with Nvidia. However they didn't release the g4 along with a good copy of the detonator 4 driver untill I purchased my card so I'm sol. As for UT. UT is a crappy game for checking performance. Even quake 3 is outdated for any type of benchmark test. Only OS that will even recognize duel processor setup is win2k or better. And amd doesnt perform well with quake 3. Since the N geforce 4 and beyond with their driver Intel hits hard and with the full utilization of p4 and a good card.. it still is blowing amd away for fps... but then again. athalon is just now talking about releasing the 1300+mhz processor. proving speed is not all you need for a beast of a machine. If you want to find some good games that really show if your vid card can perform try using "3D Mark 2001 Se" "GIants" "max payne" or "aquanox". then again.. just a suggestion.

check out anandtech's artical on UT2003 CPU and GPU scalling, its the artical to read if your looking for a new video card. .
>> athalon is just now talking about releasing the 1300+mhz processor.
AMD has been beyond 1.3g for a good while, the Athlon XP 2200+ runs at 1.8Ghz, i think the duron is stuck at 1.3g until they roll out the new .13u chips though.
I dunno if it still stands (read: i doubt it still stands) but for my systems class (cpu, gpu) i ran the 36th fastst, for my rig its the 256mb ram holding me back.
i wont comment on intel or the p4's other then, i wouldnt suggest going with a intel solution to anyone.

I like the way intel works with the geforce cards in terms of performance. As for the 1300. That was a typo. I didnt know athalon was anywhere past 1700 core clock yet. Because I was comparing to the intels 2.2 or so vs the amd and amd can still outperform. Yea those new cards do like pretty sweet but the retail price just for a basic geforce 4 is near 400bucks.. those cards with 8x agp has got to be near 500+... I"m a heavy gamer but I dont know if I would invest that much into anything. Another thing that is looking good for Intel is the fact that Rambus is comming back and they have an interface on the boards now that actually might make it work. Rambus is a sure advantage over any DDR if it is working properly.
