800mhz wont be a bottleneck dumbasses.. 800mhz would give you lower framerates when rendering all the physics and etc but wont bottleneck the gfx at all. Why do you think a crappy CPU with a high end gfx card does much better than a great CPU with an average gfx card in 3dmark?
my steams not starting.. I double click it and it doesnt load.. then I do that about a million more times and it still doesnt load. But when I CTRL+ALT+DEL, I can see steam.exe on the process section.
so far, from what I've seen, I dont think its worth it to upgrade to a dx9 card since I already have a dx8.1 card and dont see much of a difference between em which I care about.
for me, when I double click steam, it doesnt even load.. but when I ctrl+alt+del, I see steam on the process section. Then after about 3-5min, it loads. After that, if I am lucky, it doesnt freeze. If I am lucky and it doesnt freeze, I cant run a single game b/c it keeps saying preparing to run...
it was not working at all for me. Just about all the problems listed on these forums happened to me. I got so freaking frustrated with steam I uninstalled it and now I am happy.
its arrrrrnuld
btw, the diff between dx8 and dx9 isnt very much, at least for me (I would never notice any of that when an antlion guard or a strider charges at me :cool: ).
