Also, the video cards section wasn't great either, would've been better if you gave examples of low end light gaming / video watching cards, and then examples of high end gaming cards. I personally use an ATI X1300 Pro 400 Mhz core, 256 mb. If you're going to play a game such as a source game, go ATI, ati uses Direct3D, which is what source is built upon. (ever wonder why valve advertises ati things so much, and gives away free games for ati users?)
ISP - This section wasn't great. "[/size][/size][SIZE=2]Get dsl or comcast." There are several types of connections varying with price, I personally use a local cable internet company "Kraus". It runs games alright, i get low pings around 40, and downloads at 150kb/s. 20$/month. Even cheaper connections can run games well.
Just my criticism.

For the isp. I have a ~310kb/s download speed for $24 a month by Sbc Yahoo. Thats very reasonable too.
