During preparations for some public show last year (maybe LinuxTag) I
replaced the two Opteron 2 GHz CPU's by their respective 2.8 GHz
counterparts and the result was an almost proportional (to the CPU
frequency) framerate improvement in various test cases - no matter
wether I was running NVidia's 7950GT or 8800GTX cards.

Even though a 2.8 GHz Socket 940 Opteron is by far not state of the art
in these days, I think this scenario is a sufficient proof that the
statement "FG itself isn't CPU limited" doesn't hold.

Cheers,
	Martin.
