So, um, what the fuck? Did Intel's and AMD's ECEs just phone it in for three years straight? Moore's Law promised me a 4x speedup, and the best they can do is 10%?
Anyway, if I'm not misinterpreting the comparison, should I just replace the video card and skip the CPU, MB, and memory upgrades? If it's relevant, the motherboard is P67-based, and the memory is probably whatever the middle-of-the-road speed was back then.
