The CPU is a huge bottleneck, even with a 5000+ BE @ 3,4GHz, my gfx is limited by the CPU.... but with high quality settings everyting is runing fine
Have you PCI-e or AGP?
If you have AGP it's the best GFX Card you can get for this Price!
But if you have PCI-e than better buy a X1800XL/XT it cost not much more but the performance improvment is BIG(X1800XT)!

WIGGA
PS:What kind of PSU you have? It's very important!
For your Computer the best upgrade is to buy a new GFX Kard!
The best card you can get for AGP and for about 100 Pounds is the ATi Radeon
X850XT! You will have @ 1248x1024 6AA/16AA about 85FPS with 5Cars on the track!
Here are my Pic's from the Games Convention 2006!
There are 90 Pics and 2 Movies and 5 Pics of the Intel Racing Challenge!
All about 190MB and its very interesting for Germans because there are infos at german!
hehe! i only want to see how it is to drive with an Gearbox! and ist quite HARD!
I go 5 Times to the Logitech place and drive all about 1hour with the G25 and the vid is the first time i drive!
Edit: My parents buy it for me at christmas (24.December) and I still cant wait.
Edit: Who want's to buy my 1/2 Year old Driving Force Pro and my 1 year old Wingman Formula Force GP ?
Yes a new PSU is a very good idea! A Seasonic S12 380W or 430W is the best choise for you and its not expensive!
But you don't must buy an nVidia GeForce 7600GT(XXX) !
ATi cards runs with LfS better than nVidia Card's. So an Radeon X1800GTO
is a good choise and it is cheap! But when you have more money buy a 1900GT. But only when you buy a better PSU (min. seasonic S12 430W)!
The nVidia GeForce 7600GT is the best Card for your system!
The nVidia GeForce 7900GT is to powerful for your CPU. You have with an 7900GT a BIG-CPU-LIMITATION
I have now a AthlonXP 2400+ and i purchase a AthlonXP 3200+ "Barton" that i will clock up to 2400MHZ!
And I purchase OCZ 1024DDR400 premier!
How much will the FPS go up?
I had to install my Windows several times so now I have no unlocks available! I would like to have 1 or 2 more unlocks. Thanks And NO, I will not wait for the first of May.
