Are you kidding me? 8 years is ANCIENT.

Although having a processor below the minimun specs for any recent games (2.0/2.2 GHZ seems to be the norm now) might cause me to reconsider. Works fine for the 1998-2003 era games we play here.
edit: what is "fast" now? Even seeing 3.4 GHZ listed for CPU speeds still sounds unreal to me.

You're missing the part that they're mostly dual core or quad core now, as well, meaning that it's two (or four) processors.
Just to do a quick 'state of the art' check, I built a desktop on Dell for $1200:
Quad core 2.8GHZ processor
8GB of ram
750GB hard drive
Dual nVidia GeForce 9800GT 512MB video cards
