Will an AMD XP 1700 be able to take full advantage of a Radeon 9700 / Pro ?? currently have a geforce 3 and I no longer like the performance on newer games, sure its nice to play quake 3 at 100 fps at max res/textures, but its an old game.
You would see a big performance boost going from GF3 > 9700PRO. But you still won't be able to take full advantage of it. You'll need to overclock your CPU to XP2000 range to try to squeez all the FPS the card has (SEE MY RIG). My system at 1.84ghz along with the DDR266 ram is a big bottleneck for my GPU. With some DDR400, and a nforce 2 board I should be able to do over 5K in 3dmark2003.
