agreed!

How about some games benchmarks, does it decrease the cpu load noticably even at resolutions you really play at and not just benchmarking resolutions

I will run aquamark for the hell of it. I believe with the Audigy 2ZS I had 67k and some small change. I'll find out. If you like, hook me up with a good benchmark program and I will be happy to check it out. Been wanting to put this rig through a ringer anyhow to see if it is as good as it feels. :}

The Aqua mark site is down but at the bottom is my total score. If I had a registered copy of Aquamark3 then I would run it at a higher resolution.
