I was messing around w/ the benchmarking tool in ARMA2 and I discovered I am horribly CPU limited.
Specs:
4850
amd 64x2 5000 OC'd to 3.02ghz from 2.6ghz stock
2gig ram
windows xp pro (32bit)
I can use high textures/etc. and when I move it down to the "low" setting, I barely get any increase in FPS. It basically stagnates around 24-28 FPS.
I'm assuming what is going on is that my CPU is bottlenecking, but wouldn't expect it to be this much.
I haven't researched CPU's for a while, how backwards is the 939 x2 architecture for current gaming?
