Your comparing apples and oranges here. an ati radeon 2400 is about as low end as you can get with a modern computer, the damned thing (or at least the 256 edition) doesn’t have a fan!! That means no overclocking without cooking your hardware and very little oomph, I can’t see that thing running any modern game on anything but the lowest settings if your lucky.

I’m not a bleeding edge kind of a guy if they’d offered a few alternatives that would appeal to gamers or power users even something like an nvidia 7600, or 8600 which you can get for only a few bills I’d concede your point.

But that machine looks like complete style of substance. I hate style love substance in my electronics.

Overclocking these days is overrated. You get very little benefit from the practice unless you're trying to get a fairly ancient computer to run a fairly modern game.

My 4-year-old Dell XPS (2.8 Ghz Pentium 4, 1GB RAM, ATi Radeon 9800 Pro) runs Team Fortress 2 at 60FPS with all graphical options maxed out. What does that tell you?
