The FiringSquad have put up a new article called 'Radeon X800 Pro Performance with Pentium 4'. It looks at the different scaling you get when the GPU is paired with Intel's P4 CPU.
Being CPU-limited isn’t necessarily a bad thing. From an optimists’ viewpoint, eye candy features such as anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering are “free”, meaning they come with no performance hit. You can also crank up the texture and geometry detail and screen resolution with little or no drop in performance. All of these settings combined produce an excellent picture. The downside is frame rate; with a faster CPU you could have all the visuals cranked up to their maximums and achieve higher performance. Basically, you aren’t getting the most bang from your buck.

    Interesting... I guess by the time I have a 9800XT some overclocking would do me some good.
