ACK! Enter, the bottleneck! Such a sweet system too.

yeah, i was gonna go radeon 9800xt, but newegg was sold out when i went to buy, and the asus got good remarks on all the reviews i read, so i bit the bullet and went for it. it still works great so far, and ill probably pick up a 9800xt eventually. the system screams though.

its really not that much of an oc.....most 2500+M's do 2.5ghz+ on air. Some do 2.7ghz. My 9800np isn't that great either, its got infineon ram, which stinks. Also, i dont have a DFI infinity, so my FSB is 230, not 260....so it does have room for faster K7 hardware.....but it was cheap, around $700 for the whole rig(XP and moniter too). So I'm happy:P it can run max everything 1024x768 on halo with 8xAF UT2K4 is nice also....
