Which PC characteristic limits playing strength more:
- CPU speed
  - at same clock speed, which is preferred... AMD or Intel?
- speed of RAM
  - PC100/133 vs PC1600/2100 DDR
- amount of RAM
  - as it relates to hashtable size?
- Windows 95/98/me vs Windows NT/2000 vs (insert OS here)
- number of CPUs

Within each class, how much performance difference is noticed, ie DDR2100 over
PC133 RAM, single cpu vs dual cpu?

Trying to design my next killer machine.  Thanks in advance.
