    As res goes up, cpu dependency goes down. At high res, the difference in frame rate between different cpu's is very little. This applies for most games except the one's that are cpu dependent (rts and simulators).

    Cisco 3725 ICMP

    Do you have a device connected on fa2/0? If you don't have a device connected, you can't ping that gateway address. A link state is only changed to up if there is a connection. No connection = down, even if it is configured properly.
