At this day and age the FX or R300 series aren't good choices for DX9 games. At least R300 series cards are fantastic choices for DX8 games, the FX have no saving grace whatsoever. R300 kind of hold their own in early DX9 titles like HL2, too. Only when you venture into XBOX 360 era they become …

So testing my XP rig, I found a pair of 9800GT cards and swaped out my pair of 7900GTX cards for them, well of course FPS at 12x10 didn't really change, 3dmark06 score increased by 1000 to a single 9800GT and in SLI it increased another 300 points so I'd say bottleneck. Tested however at 1920x1080 …

I have purchased AMD only RAM before with no issues on ebay. The only issue you will have is most DDR2 AMD motherboards (chipsets) have an 8GB RAM Limit and you need to make sure the board you are going to use 4x4GB DIMMs on will do 16GB of RAM. To be honest I have had more issues with Intel boards …
