I ran it with the original P4 processor and the system was clearly CPU constrained.

I achieved about 5500 points on 3dmark06 which was medium performance for similar projects, but in the bottom 5% for that particular graphics card.

The card runs much better now it's paired with the new CPU, although I think it would probably run better still with a quad core system.
