k .. here goes .. I'm running the system below .. Dual 2.2 Xeons 400Mhz FSB (don't talk about overclocking cus it can't be done) .. I've ordered a XFX 6800 GT ... am I really going to be screwed since my FSB is only 400Mhz and my AGP is only at 4x ?

I'm shooting at running D3 @ 1280x1024 High Quality no aa/af ...

so tell me .. Can this probably be done or is this just a snowball in hell ?
 
I'm running Dual Athlon MP 2800s on a 266Mhz fsb...and I haven't had many problems yet...the 2.2Ghz is what's gonna hurt ya...
 
Well it won't hurt it, its just these new vid cards are even bottlenecked by FX53,P43.4EE's. It will run fine, just don't expect killer 3dmarks scores in 01, worry about games and have fun :)
 
I could give a damn about 3dmarks and the like .. I just want it to run my games at a decent res and to maek em look purdy ...

I don't want to get stuck having to run D3 (and the other upcomming games) at 1024x768 because that's all the card can handle because it's bottelnecked .. of course I'd really like to run at 1600x1200 but I'm not sure if my proc/fsb can handle it ..

any thoughts ? I'd love to be proven wrong ...
