Something is definately amiss. You should see framerates well above 70 fps
with all settings high and all gadgets on (well except fsaa perhaps) at that resolution.
Your second piece of info, UT performing hardly any better,
is another indication that your setup is being held back by a configuration problem.
The 1800+ is not a low-end processor, yes many see it as entry-level, but it does perform
quite well. In combination with your 9700, it should be screaming.
