And so it should. Despite what Intel's marketing department would like to
hear, the video card makes the biggest difference in game performance. The
mainboard and CPU are all secondary. In fact, in pure game machines (i.e.
consoles), where legacy design isn't a consideration, the CPU usually
doesn't even get direct access to RAM; it has to go through the GPU.

I'm expecting a lot from this video card. It cost about as much as
my mainboard and Opteron 152 CPU combined.

Wish me luck.
