basically what most of us already knew, a balanced system performs best.

all it really says is dont pair a 1000 dollars plus worth of x1900s with a amd 3000.. hmm.. all highly relevant stuff.. he he

but i think in 1800le and downwards land the story would have been completely different..

well of course CPU effects everything.

transfer to/from ram, video ram, soundcard, bus stabilty, orchistrating in game features.
just because you have a beast of a video card doesnt mean the info is gonna get to it smoothly.
