| | | Video card good, processor bad
I finallh got my Radeon 9000 in the mail and it rocks. It runs games that I could never play before. The only thing is is that the games are choppy cause my processor is a piece of junk. This sucks @$$. I need more money.

| | | If you resort to overclocking, make sure you have a good CPU fan, efficient airflow through and around the case and that you have high-quality memory.
You might check with your motherboard manufacturer and see what the maximum clock speed it will support and just buy a new processor. Athlon XP 2400+ chips are running for about $100 now.
