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.

Ill get a 9800 Pro when it gos lower and with my current system 2100
is the max my board can take and iam not upgrading so soon, ill wait
till 64bit computeing is 100% uptake and 32bit is gone like 16bit is
not toooo long.

PC2100 Ram...that severly limits your upgrade possibilities! ...to
replace 1Gig of ram to..well lets say PC3200 you talk about 200
dollar/euro... if you do it dead cheap.

Going for PC2100 is a waste of money as it stops you from upgrading!

9600 Pro 9800 Pro is a good upgrade, however, i'd save the money to get a
new setup in 3-4 months.

Then you can buy a new Athlon 64 setup, with new RAM and that shiney new
9800 Pro for dirt cheap.

And how low must the price of the 9800 Pro go for you, because
personaly I think it isn't going much lower anymore...

Hmmm its like 360 bucks Australian here and the New Nvidia and ATI
cards have not yet hit Australia and when they do i might pick one up
at 250 300 dollars, depends how much they discount them when no one is
buying them

Or maybe everyone will be buying who can say depends of the price of
the new cards and if they have been saving their pennies.

Thanks.

But since most games aren't CPU bound at this point you don't need the Athlon
64, you need the better vid-card.
