Hmm.

A little over a third above minimum, between the "Minimum" and "Reccomended" lines.

Only failures on Recommneded where CPU speed and Graphics Card (currently have a 6600GT AGP 128k)

Its an AGP motherboard, so I doubt I'd get much better graphics card for the amount of dosh I want to spend.

Given the age of the Mobo, I doubt I'm ready for the latest CPUs ;)

I wonder if there is any value in picking up the best CPU my mobo can currently manage - prices may have been slashed with Dual Cores now on the scene.

Over recommended on all but the Vid Card, but the replacement should be here tomorrow.

Question: how important is DVD speed, which it doesn't seem to be able to measure?

I bought the DVD versio myself, and it doesn't seem to access the DVD except when you first start the game up. So it probably only matters during initial install. If the game acesses the DVD at any time during the game i didnt' notice it, but my drive is pretty quiet so it'd be hard to notice.
