Interesting, but does it take into consideration the health effect of second hand smoke? I'd imagine that asthma and the dozens of other second hand smoking related illnesses - especially those forced upon babies and children - would certainly affect the net effect.
Nay! The monarchy! Let the King decide, for he was ordained by Heaven above!
The market is as irresponsible as any politician as long as those running them have much to gain from manipulating wages. Why put faith in the same markets that cost us 3.6 million jobs in slightly over a year and a...
Or maybe less extreme and go for a 20-22" widescreen. For $300 you could get a very decent monitor with a much more enjoyable resolution... yet won't destroy your gaming performance as a 24" might.

CPU limited or no, it's not a dead end system and a $50-70 GPU upgrade would add CONSIDERABLE life to the system. I have similar specs (AXP mobile 2600+ slightly OCed), and for years I rolled with a 9800 pro. About 2 months ago I upgraded to an x850xl and I went from playing Oblivion on...
With all of the supply problems AMD is facing I'm surprised price gouging isn't reaching 8800gt levels already. Whatever's keeping it down, it's sweet though!
In some benches =! all benches, and who would seriously pay $280 for a couple fps in a couple games in a couple lab tests? Come on, don't be ridiculous.
By Christmas a bunch of new cards should be out, HOPEFULLY an actual high end card will be released, and the price of the 8800GT will be...
