would disagree. while there is importance, the GPU and rendering pipes, mem interface and amount of RAM on your video card as well as its speed make a greater difference.
I have several systems here and a mid to high end discreet video card with 256m+ RAM fair better in game than just high CPU clock and system RAM.
my best example is a 2.9ghz dual core AMD(AM3) with 2gb DDR-800 Win XP sp3 and a ATI 4670 512m on card icannot match the play on a 2.3ghz AMD (AM2) with 2gb DDR-800 Win 7 with a nVidia GT 9800 512m. both 32-bit OS.
EQ client does not get bottle necked at CPU trying to feed the GPU like more modern titles. even a fast single core (2.4ghz+)and a x1800 or nVidia 7900GT or newer video card will peform well within acceptable framrates. a dual or multi core being an advantage of you are running more than one client at a time or server on the same system.
while clock speed and RAM amount matter, the video card impacts EQ performance more.
