Nice! I only have a 15in(1024x768) monitor so for me mine is still doing good for most games.I can't max everything out but I can still max some games out.When I bump up to a 19in though I think I will have to get a new one for the higher res.

Mines not overclocked either and is just a x800gt/gto so it's pipes are cut in half.It's basically a beefed up x700 with better ram and a better gpu.I heard I could unlock the extra pipes but found that mine wasn't able.

Damn! I knew I shouldn't have bought that CRT! Nah I got it because it can do all resolutions at good picture quality. 2048x1536 is a bonus, I use 1600x1200 in windows because anything above is too small on an 18" visible area!
I'm looking forward to playing FEAR. My current machine just falls to pieces when I open it, It shoots well over my RAM limit as soon as I hit the menu screen, it even jerks on the intro. I get about 5 frames per second on the first bit when he's in the car. I've no idea why, to this day, that happens. It's like it's being software rendered or something!
I can Doom 3 at 1280x1024 and UT04 at 1920x1200 nicely, but I know that Doom 3 and UT04 aren't the limit of games any more, so to get good resolutions in the future I'll need something badass. Enter the X1900XT. I didn't bother getting a massively souped up CPU and Mobo because they're just not necessary. Besides with a Zalman I can OC a 4200+ later on if I wish. Arctic Silver should help too!
