Actually if you bother to read it it says that the CPU is a bottleneck 
and "if you have a GeForce 6800 Ultra, pairing the chip up with a fast 
CPU is quite important.".

Also that graph shows a drop of ~10fps between 800x600 and 1280x1024, 
the Athlon 64s then manage to take that and create a further 10fps drop 
on top of that.

My point still stands, you suggested that we should "Try turning on all 
the extras." in relation to the 2.4C sugggesting it would suddenly give 
ground in fps. In reality it barely even changes at all.

If you spent a bit less time spamming newsgroups links to a single 
article from a single source you might be able to better carry across a 
point.
