elfsSo, is a Sempron 3100 (512 MB) plus a nVidia Fe5500/256MB supposed to be slower than an Athlon 2700 (512 MB) plus a nVidia TI4200/128MB?
This thing runs Quake 4 like crap!

Funny, though... I did notice that the 5900 seemed to disappear from the shelves shortly after I bought it, and all that were left were the crippled MX varieties, or the 512MiB GTX varieties that went for $400-500 each.
I have a 7900GT in my new rig, and seems to do a lovely job running Oblivion.
