I bought for 179 canadian from tigerdirect.ca in decmeber 2006. Its been pretty good to me so far, yet its hard to know how to keep it optimized. For instance I changed the Via Hyperions a while back and plugged in a game the other day and saw the graphics choppin' frame by frame in some games...

Hey Brent did you get oblivion working better yet? I found disabling the hotfix with regedity, and eliminating /usepmtimer from boot ini worked well. cheers

I am. I just installed an FX 60 from a newcastle 3400+ on 800 bus (the slow old ones!) and chop city is perfect description. Thanks! Ive been seaching everywhere for someone with the same experience... Anyway the 3400+ was perfectly smooth !1024x768 res everything on MAX , HDR etc blah... Im...
