Essentially the same rig (DFI LANParty UT mobo) but with XP Pro 64, and the 
PCIE 6800GT. I tried running at 1280x1024 in Ultra but it was too choppy. I 
backed it down to High and things smoothed right out. Ultra probably needs 
a 7800 to get enough texture bandwidth, as it felt like texture lag, the 
kind of thing normally cured by looking around in all directions in a new 
level to force the textures to load.
