Upgrade complete

I recently upgraded my computer, not without a few hickups. I ended up with a AMD X2 5600+ CPU and a ATI 1950GT video card. Here are some interesting benchmarks.

	4800+ X2	5600+ X2	5600+ X2
	Gforce 6600GT	Gforce 6600GT	ATI 1950GT
3DMark Score	2255	2279 Marks	4383 Marks
SM 2.0 Score	871	871 Marks	1610 Marks
SM 3.0 Score	782	783 Marks	1783 Marks
CPU Score	1880	2166 Marks	2164 Marks

Its not terribly surprising, in hindsight, that increasing the CPU speed does very little to the graphics score. Further, here are some Bioshock benchmarks. My previous CPU was a 3000+ with DDR RAM. Now I have a X2 CPU and DD2 RAM. That said, Bioshock ran at 15 FPS with the 3000+ CPU, 4800+ CPU, and 5600+ CPU. Only when I upgraded to the ATI card did the FPS soar to 55. So there's alot to be said to upgrading just the graphics card.
