Nowadays fast memory also is a 5% of the speed or so. Video speed doesn't count simply. Even the most idiotic $25 card is fast enough. Sound chip doesn't count. and so on. in short the only interesting thing is the speed of the processor, only followed at a huge distance by memory speed. Also your machine is a single cpu machine, so it's not even a ferrari, it's a nissan micra at most. A real machine is a dual K7 MP1900 or MP2000 machine!!
