I didnt do half the things you guys mentioned, but... -I float around 60-70 fps in doom3, fear, or hl2 with most of the settings maxed out. -Every zbrush and max file i run w/ photoshop and my game engine open have zero sklow downs. I put in a nvidia 7800, 1 gig of ram, a gigabyte sli board and a 3200+ processor. -R
