Introduction
Recently I made a large upgrade to my main gaming/review rig. I went from a 3500+ Venice CPU to an E6600 Conroe. From 1gb of OCZ PC4000 VX memory to 2gb of OCZ PC6400. However the most expensive but certainly the most noticeable change that I made was moving from a rather poultry XFX PCX6600 to a much heftier Sapphire x1900XT 512mb graphics card. Now I can play games and top resolutions with no problems and I am once again king of the XSReviews benchmark tables. Read on to see what kind of scores I get with my new best friend.
