so, my 890GPA is off to Gigabyte tomorrow and i Just assembled my backup which is now a Pentium4 with 2GB dual channel DDR2 533MHz.... and a GTX 460 1GB, so obviously CPU-intensive applications are out of the question
are there any games that use graphics heavy but little to no CPU? im thinking i will be limited to Killing floor at best and maybe L4D, as sadly Metro 2033 BF:BC2 and Cryostasis will be a wee bit bottlenecked haha
or maybe beat hazard and audiosurf will be my only options for playability...
(and i'm using the 460 1GB because it will folding, now)

Re: low CPU power games
killing floor(Unreal Engine) is pretty playable, even at max settings, though it gets caught up every 30sec or so

my Thuban is back up :D
3.8GHz 6-core with 4GB DDR3 1500MHz is very very nice compared to the 3GHz pentium DDR2 533MHz
