Frame Rates and Opinions.....

[Ripdoo]

I have a Aptiva L5H 233P2.
I just upgraded to 128mb of SDram and installed a Viper550 and 2 Monster2(sli).
I get fps in the diamond tests that range from 170(test1) to 70((test2)(800x600).I this normal,was the money I dumped worth it?
Viper Racing I get 75fps but it stutters slightly.
Redline Racer runs smooth.
UnReal is unreliable.
Rouge Squadron runs well .
I would appreciate it if someone more knowledgable than myself would give me some tips. Could heat be a problem?
Thanks in Advance MikeR

If your cpu is running at '233', then that might be a major factor. Some software applications ( games ) are video card tied and bound, other apps are cpu tied and bound. The 'unreal' game requires an unreal amount of cpu horsepower ( and a good video card ). Some reviewers state it as 'scaling' to the cpu's mega-hertz speed.
