equinox Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Ok, the only game I play is World of Warcraft and thats all thats holding me back from osx. I have a g4 mini, but the game runs horribly on it. I grabbed my old radeon 9600xt out of the closet and swapped my 6800gt for it and tried wow on that. It didn't work too well. It stuttered quite a bit. I imagine because the frame buffer driver wasnt loaded, but im not really sure. I tried on my athon64 3200 w/o sse3 and my p4 with out sse3 and a celeron d with ss3 and it still did it. Well my question is "would buy a x1600 pro and putting it in there fix the problem and which of these configurations would you use?" Athon64 3200 @ 2.4ghz (no sse3) (nforce3) 2 gb ram X1600 P4 2.4c @ 3ghz (no sse3) IC7-Maxx3 - 875 chipset 2 gb ram X1600 Celeron D @ 4ghz (sse 3) IC7-Maxx3 - 875 chipset 2gb ram X1600 If sse3 wasnt an issue the athon should kick the {censored} out of the other two like a sand kicking beach bully, but with sse3 in the equation im leaning towards swapping boards out with my wife for the celeron. I appreciate any insight. Thnx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25493-ati-x1600/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
