Question about my comp and x800 series cards.

[AOS]

First question, does anyone actually have a card running in there computer at the moment? If so, how is it playing games, benchmarking and overclocking? Second question, I'm currently running the following:

Barton 2500+ @2.4
1 gig pc3200 cosrair xms @6-3-3-2
Radeon 9700 pro (insert x800xt here)
WD 7200rpm 80gig hd
dell 2001 fp 20inch


Will this computer be a major bottleneck for the x800 series graphics card or should everything run very smoothly? (keeping in mind I run most my games at 1600x1200 resolution).

Thanks,

~AOS

This review should be perfect for you, http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/x800_pro_athlon_xp/ at least the AXP 3200+ should be close enough.

Well if you're planning on continuing to use that resolution, as well as AA, and AF, I believe an X800 and your system would be "fairly well" balanced. And only the most CPU demanding games will see your system start to get choppy at all.
