Multi-Player games, as that was my main point. If you playing buy yourself,you won't see as many issues, unless your playing against BOT's then it's worse then playing online. M.

Wanna_bmw, Re: <...but I play a number of games with my Pentium III 800MHz, and I never find frame rates to fall to an unacceptable number. Then again, I'm sure a number of the newest games can bring my system to its knees, being that I am still running off my old Voodoo3 card. > On the one hand you're talking about CPU speed and on the other Video card and implying(or saying) that both effect frame rates. Would it then be reasonable assume that testing CPUs should be done with crappy video cards?(To maximize the performance difference seen in the test.) Or that such a test could say that adding $50 to the price of the CPU is worth about as much as adding $XX to the video card for playing thus and such game? This is kinda serious curiosity. I quit playing most video games a while ago & generally get a good cpu with the cheapest video card I can find(that'll run my 21" Hitachi at 1600X1200). tgptndr
