Yes, it's a 939 chip, but I can get a new 3800+ 939 for less than $100 and a x1950pro 256MB for about $240 or a 512MB version for $290. Basically, I'd like to be able to turn on all the bells and whistles on current games while future-proofing enough to be able to at least play any new games coming down the pipe in the next year or two. According to this article, it would seem to make sense to go for the x1950.. anyone think that the 3800+ would be able to relieve the CPU bottleneck any better than my current 3200+? Or would the difference be insignificant with ddr1 and the older mobo?
