You'll still need a decent CPU which won't bottleneck your graphics card, and honestly people don't need the current Core 2 Duos to launch a browser or read their mail.
Indeed, while I partly disagree with Sweeney, he is correct when he says that high-end gaming concerns only a minority. Today's graphics cards are so powerful that in order to incite people in buying better ones (ie proving the older ones are crap) all benchmarks are made with ridiculously high resolutions made for 22"+ inch screens, whereas most people are still at 19" or 17".
Considering the fact that new engines like Unreal Engine 3 were also made for non-DX platforms (ie PS3 and Linux) and developped when DX9 was around, DX10 is quite useless for now; the difference between DX9 and DX10 in Bioshock is for instance ridiculous http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/bioshock_direc tx10_performance/page4.asp. This may not change for quite a while if everyone is staying on XP.
Exactly; even though I'm an atheist I think that it's obvious that "books" like the Bible shouldn't be believed word by word. You cannot deny reality, the rest is up to you.

There has been so much hype around this "box" that it gets dizzying

In a few weeks the E6600 will be at $170, quite a bargain...

Do they know that we have some dating methods that... ummm... date Dinosaurs before 65M BC and humans much, much after that?
