Yea I remember that thread too ,I might of posted there too ,I think that was over a year ago now.
But anyway ,whether his cpu is upto it depends on the game , I doubt that it would be upto the job of running some of the latest games.
IF his cpu is too slow for recent games a new vid card won't fix or 'mask' that.
OTOH if he only plays older games like CS then their is no point at all in getting an
expensive new card.

7600GT would do the job nicely.

You're overlooking the fact that many people don't play the latest games (or some any at all) or get the latest OSs so yes for office/net use a then ancient P4 will still be useful ,other than being a paper weight
