You need good CPU support to tell the difference in some games like Oblivion. When I first installed my 7950 GX2 I thought it wasn't working properly and I had my CPU at stock. I checked the driver CP and up to 16x AA was available so I was then fairly sure I was good to go. When I cranked my CPU up my FPS in one area in Oblivion where it was only 64 FPS @1600 x res shot up to 109 FPS. I remembered my X1900 XTX Crossfire setup supported by a X2 4400+ @ 2.84 GHz put up 124 FPS in the same situation so I discovered I simply needed to push up my CPU clock. You won't have that problem when you get your Conroe

EDIT:

Here ya go. 7950 GX2 @ 571|775 for both shots, 16x AF @ 1600x res HDR active. I just loaded a saved game, didn't move and did a screen capture.

CPU @ 3 GHz=63 FPS



CPU @ 4.5 GHz=106 FPS



CPU @ 4.5 GHz and 7950 GX2 stock 500|600=105 FPS



Finally, CPU @ 4.5 GHz 7950 GX2 stock with multi-gpu off in the NV driver CP=64 FPS



So if you are running a stock P 4 @ 3GHz or a D don't expect big things from dual GPUs. Looks like my CPU is holding it down even @ 4.5 GHz.
