It should 
be fairly obvious that UT2003 runs well on an AMD Athlon64 system. Performance 
is excellent!

Unreal 
Tournament 2004 is the sequel to the highly popular UT2003 and uses the very 
latest Unreal Engine technology. Unreal Tournament 2004 employs the use of 
Vertex and Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 9 videocard 
to you plan to play competitively. 
 
UT2004 is 
new to us, but those framerates are quite high when compared 
to some Intel Pentium4 systems we've recently tested. The same 
trend is present here; overclocked systems are actually performing 
slightly slower than when at stock speeds.
