Confirmed. P4 3.4GHz, 2GB DDR, AGP video card (i.e. - *not even

Have you seen
a modern 3D game? they push the hardware pretty hard.
Certainly harder than a Core 2 Duo can handle. At least if you want the
bells and whistles.
A P4 with a newer video card (GF 8800 GT say) can handle a high level of
graphics in say Crysis 2 or Mass Effect 2 (to name two that i have
thoroughly tested). Even in gaming, upgrade-itis is excessive.
Agreed.
