Quote:I know vor_lord went for a 9600GT / 4850e / 4gig upgrade for the $200-250ish range. He runs 1920x. Perhaps he can let us know his impressions. 9600GT is also a decent value, in the $70-80 range at the low end of prices.

I actually went with an e7300 intel platform for roughly $335 shipped after rebates. With me running this on linux through wine my absolute numbers are probably not so useful.

At any rate I went from about 12-15 fps with all detail down at 1280x1024 (dipping to 3-4 in raids) to about 40-50 fps with all detail maxed at 1920x1200. This will dip into the 30s when things get hot but I haven't done any 25 man raids yet.

edit: I need to add that I am not 100% certain that WoW knows it can use two cores in wine. I've yet to confirm that it is using them.
