Another thing about your benchmarks, they're wrong I've seen an ATI Radeon 9600XT bench better than 17.6 fps on a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ so it definitely is gonna do better on a 3.2Ghz pentium 4. All in all it still boils down to you haven't shown that kevin was wrong.
The benchmark tested videocard speed and processor speed. Look at the pictures! There's like 10 videocards versus each other and 20 processors versus each other. I'd say that's a processor speed test!

I'm not sure what the 9600XT thing is about, but ya can't say that "they're wrong" because it's a controlled test under controlled conditions. A 9600XT will run Doom 3, but not more than 17 FPS at 1280x1024. That's suicide settings for a majority of the videocards on the market.

I did show that Kevin was wrong. He said that a processor upgrade is better for gaming systems. He's wrong. The results I posted prove him wrong through and through 100%. A videocard upgrade is more beneficial to an average system than a processor upgrade concerning gaming. Kevin said the exact opposite of this, therefore he's wrong.
