<div id="ygrps-yiv-107073515">Although you may be correct, you are a bit misleading.  CPU isn&#39;t<br/>
everything.  I play Everquest on three different machines: <br/>
<br/>
1. Celeron 300, Voodoo3 3500, 128MBRam<br/>
2. PII 350, Riva TNT, 64MBRam<br/>
3. Celeron 433, Voodoo2, 64MBRam<br/>
<br/>
Number 1 has the smoothest video of all of them, with the fewest pauses.<br/>
The 128MBRam also makes zoning a bit faster than the other two machines.<br/>
(Before the Voodoo3, I had an ATI AllinWonderPro (4M) that would pause<br/>
reliably every time a new set of textures were needed.)  Unless you match<br/>
memory, video and cpu speed, you won&#39;t have optimal performance.<br/>
<br/>
That being said, if I over clock #1 above to 450MHZ, then EQ does run<br/>
better.<br/>

Actually a little known fact about EQ is that it&#39;s almost entirely CPU<br/>
limited.<br/>
