I'm testing a Q6600 @ 3600MHz (1.4v) and 1280x1024 with all setting high (no AA though) and my average fps = 40, test with the benchmark tool and fraps... while gaming for real, i rarely see FPS drop below 40, usually between 40-50fps. very playable. i don't dare turn AA on though. XP 32bit for clarification. I won't move to vista just yet
