  I have a p3 800 and a p4 2.2 in my office. Guess What? They don't feel all that different. I'm sure there is a big difference in frame rate, but I don't play games in the office.

    Well I have a P3 700 and I haven't played a game where I've thought, I really need to upgrade. I can't see any reason to upgrade right now.
    
    I'll wait at least until AGP 8x motherboards come out.

      Yeah, because we know how much AGP 4x makes a difference over 1x

        Old style fill rate limited apps like Q3 won't improve much with more AGP. Something like Unreal2 and future high geometry games proabably will as they need to shift a lot of data to the card from main memory.
