Athlon X2/Phenom + GPU(s)- Post your FPS in games here

This thread is for anyone like myself who has an Athlon X2 processor and is interested to see how they are still performing with different games at different resolutions and with different GPU setups. I personally have an X2 6000 Windsor which is running at 3.2. I have a 9800GT and I game at 1280x1024. Please give as accurate as possible your -

Name of the game
Minimum, Maximum and average framerates.
The resolution you are playing it at.
Levels of AA and AF
X2 Processor and Speed its running at
Memory amount, speed and timings
GPU setup
In Game Settings

Heres to providing a good base of information for fellow X2 owners who may be pondering changing their videocard or any part of their equipment to facilitate an upgrade

EDIT

I shall put everyones results in the post below and keep them in Alphabetical order as a quick reference for everyone.

I've got the same cpu but the gpu is so slow I'd be faster drawing the image myself. I'l get results using my gtx260 although they might come a bit later.

Only one I've benched has been Fallout 3:

Athlon X2 6400+ (stock speeds)
8800 GTX (stock speeds)
1680x1050 resolution
4X AA, 8X AF, All quality options maxed with HDR (shadows, water, draw distances, etc...), vertical sync on.

From Rivet City to Megaton during late afternoon (facing light source).

Avg: 40.043 - Min: 26 - Max: 63

Just did Oblivion as well. I use Qarl's Texture Pack 3 Redimized.
1680x1050 resolution
4XAA, 8XAA, all distances sliders maxed and quality options on high (water, blood decals, etc...), shadows on 50%, vertical sync on

"Orange Road" from Chorral to Bruma on foot

Avg: 50.636 - Min: 32 - Max: 63

Kind of impressed with the "old girl". It still plays the RPGs I like on almost full eye candy and still gets good framerates.
