I was actually messing with FPS when your posted this :) F.E.A.R. is a good suggestion. And it would be fun to see Crysis destroy my system. Updated the post.

It may have been 05 but I could be wrong. I would do some FPS tests on various games as well. You can get F.E.A.R. multiplayer for free and use that. That game was kind of a standard for testing rigs for a long time, and even though I'm certain your old computer will get decent numbers, turning on all the bells and whistles should still make it chug and help you appreciate the new comp. I don't know if there's a demo for Crysis, but that's definitely the gold standard these days. It's likely you wouldn't even be able to run it on 1024 on your current setup, but the new one should crush it. My computer really is dying. I really hope moving doesn't cost us too much, as I'm anxious to get my S2000 and a new computer.
