May 24, 2006 at 7:11 PM FX-60 Dual-Core, Opteron, Dual Xeon?

You will see zero benefit from a dual core CPU in almost all games right now. In fact, the only game I know of that uses my second core somewhat...

GW will run well on cards all they way back to a Radeon 7500. So as along as you don't get Intel Integrated trash3D, you should be ok. And...

x850xt will be faster than x1600. x1600 has 12 pixel shaders, but only 4 texture units & ROPs (like a 9600/x600), so it's not much faster...
