That's even worse than so many people staying with single core CPU.

So technically, I still have a high-end system! :D

It's not worse if you play HL1 and CS. At least I think you can handle those games with a Geforce 2 MX... too long ago!

That's the one that stuck out at me, too. Only 1/4th playing widescreen? Or do they not count 16:10?

Also, how are Quad Cores being counted?

16:10 are counted under 16:9

It actually means number of cores , even though it says physical cpu.
The quad core make up 4%

It makes sense really.
Look at how many pc on there are single core, agp slots, old video cards.
Those were all probably sold with crt or 4:3 LCD monitors.

I bet they are using AGP video cards, 4:3 (non-widescreen) displays and IDE drives as well!
I can almost promise that 99.9% are using IDE drives, since SATA and PATA are both IDE.
