Notes
Note that the GeCube has the slight disadvantage in terms of memory settings, running on the ASUS board with the Micron memory. The MSI X700 PRO and the reference 6600 GT were both run using the DFI board and the faster Corsair memory.So another X700 PRO and NVIDIA's mid-range powerhouse for the GeCube to take on. Benchmarks were run at 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200, both with and without AA and AF settings applied.
