$1300 in epenis enhancements don't strike me as the kind of "tweak" the maker of this thread had in mind.

Original Post:
I gave up on my DELL XPS 600 system. Can't say for sure, but I'm pretty confident that the FPS problem was having only 2gigs of memory, it just isn't enough to run 2560x1600. If I'd read the post about swapping out the mboard and cpu, I may have tried that. But I didn't -- I went down to my local Frys and bought everything piece by piece to complement my 30inch DELL monitor and 4890 Radeon VCard:
i7 920 CPU
Asus Mboard with chipset supporting i7 CPUs
1 TB WD Green HD
Vista 64
12 Gigs Memory
Big Case with lots of fans, RW DVD
All for about $1300. I can only imagaine how much DELL would charge for a comparable system. Spent all day Saturday putting it together, No more FPS problems, very happy camper. Did Hodir last night, and it hummed along very smoothly. Seemed to always be maxed around 60 fps where before it would limp along at 8 to 15. Hopefully this will be able to handle any new games that come out within the next 3 or 4 years.
