I haven't pushed it to it's limits yet to see how it performs but it's pretty zippy so far. On another note, we have the next episode recorded. It might take me a few hours to get it up though, as I have to do a little surgery to make the 4 second lag (thanks Charter Communications...) a little more bearable. The overlapping issues are fixed though. It will be perfectly listenable once I clean it up a bit. I got the Core 2 Duo E6750.

It's using a different lighting system. plus, I find no matter what game you play, you can't pass 100fps. You could be surprised.

With everything turned on high (or very high) at my LCD's native resolution (1280x1024) I get around 100 FPS. Awesome. Finished building my rig, and just ran a TF2 test.

The good news is that there are some brand new computer parts in the mail, and I'll have a brand-spanking-new Core 2 Duo rig with 2 gigs of RAM and an 8800 GTS next week, so no more complaining about games melting my PC!
