While having a kick ass new CPU and board, alas, he was stuck with a VooDoo 3 PCI for the time being...suffering a UT withdrawl, he decided to see how the game would play on a 6 year old video card.

Supursingly well.

Using my previous settings of 32bit color, 800x600, AA and AF off, I was able to duel the bot on Idoma averaging around 75 FPS with few noiceable hiccups.

And to prove that this happened, I will make a FRAPS video of this occasion of immense stupidity.

Can't wait for the x800xl to get in

How much did the XL run you for? $200? That's about as cheap as I'm seeing them.

Hate to put down your decision or anything, but I would've gone with the 6800GS instead.

I traded a P4C800-E and a 2.8 Northwood C that I had gotten for free for it.

My total out of pocket costs on the whole upgrade (new mobo, CPU and vid card) will be less than $150

Oh, ok. Sounds like a good deal then.
