Mad dog you are wrong. A cpu is the basic horsepower of any pc not every graphics cards supports hardware t&l like nvidia's geforce boards. I have a 1.33ghz thunderbird and a voodoo 5 since upgrading to the thunderbird games have been running a hell of a lot smoother.
Quake 3 is a gamewhere most graphics cards drop fps because they are fillrate limited. However with a good cpu the graphics card can offload the excess amount of work for the cpu todo.
You are only as good as your cpu when it comes down to it your graphics card even with Hardware t&l support still needs the cpu for other computations.
