Default Computer guys / gamers :

I just finish my 2nd rig. My X800Pro (AGP) when OC is perform on par with my stock x850xt (PCI-E) It should be better when I OC my whole system as well. The x850xt system is intended for stock though.

Now, what games do you guys suggest to test out the performance of both my rigs (X850XT and X800Pro). I'm looking into adventure games and stuff like FF, fable, etc. for the PC. I'm not much of a strategic gamer. I just recently got hook into BF2 and still trying to learn how to play. I'm sux at this game

Btw, post up your setup and your Benchmark scores too

HL2
Doom 3

I just ordered an Athlon 64 3000+ and a DFI LANParty N4 Ultra which will be OC'd. I'm keeping my old video card (Nvidia 5900SE) until I can safely afford a 6600GT but even with my old setup (Athlon XP 2500+) HL2 ran ok...little choppy but ok.

Gonna benchmark it when the new parts come in, then again when the new video card comes in. Not expecting anything spectacular, but I just want a solid rig.

common Dom, we know you can do better than that. 7800GTX or at least a X800GTO2 and unlock it. 6600gt is old now right?

It's not a GT though, he'd want at least a 6600gt.

I'm not as serious as some of you guys. I just wanna play CS:S and do 3D work. I think the 6600GT is good enough.
