Radeon 9800 Pro, Xp 2400,266mhz,1 gig pc2100 ram, this a good setup ?

Radeon 9800 Pro, Xp 2400,266mhz,1 gig pc2100 ram, this a good setup ?

Will the 9800 pro use all its power, or should i just stick to the
9600 Pro worth the upgrade to the 9800 Pro ?

Thanks.

It all depends what games you play. Also, depending on the rest of your
system, upgrades may be better utilised elsewhere. What motherboard do you
have?

I think he has an ageing ASUS A7A266.

Eventually we'll reach the point the rest of a computer is thrown in as a
freebie when one buys a display adapter!

Indeed!
I feel a bit sorry for this kid, he has been *theorising* over an upgrade
for about 9 months, but you can never get ahead of the *joneses* as new
things are always creeping out.

If the O.P has a 9600XT, XP2400+, 1GB of PC2100 and an ASUS A7A266 I think
that's a nice enough system, I built something similar for my Brother in
February except I used an ABIT AN7 + 512MB of Crucial PC3200, so instead of
running the XP2400+ @15x133 it is running at 11x200, of course the extra
FSB/Mem MHz really helps.

From my limited recent game playing experience I find it hard to tell the
difference between the 9800 and the 9600XT while running say 1024x768 res.
Of course I can see the difference in benchmarks!

Yeah, and who can actually SEE 500 frames per second, or even 200 frames per
second for that matter, and as if any monitor could DISPLAY 200 frames per
second!

Would go with a lesser Vid card...new Mobo and ram with price diff.

personally I run a Mobile 2500+/Asus A7N8X/OCZ pc3200 DDR 6-3-3-2/Ti4200 GF4
8x card.

I can run every game I have Including Farcry at 1024x768 Full detail and
smooth gameplay.
Yea I would like a FX5600 or 9600Pro card but My system runs good for me so
why bother.
I built this system last year around a 2100+ @ 11x200Mhz....Now Im at
12.5x200 with the mobile.
My 2100+ ran same as the Mobile does as far as smoothness during games
etc...But I wanted to see if I could achieve 2500Mhz.
So in MHO A expensive top end vid card is a waste of $$$$$$.
your system is only as fast as your slowest part...Mine bein my vid
card...and that aint very slow.
