 Flat panels aren't horrible for 3D gaming if you choose a good one. I use a 17" flat panel screen that is perfectly clear and never blurs.
 And as for the Pentium vs. Athlon debate.. it's always going to be a matter of personal preference. I'd personally never touch an AMD product (too many bad experiences have soured the company and their products for me). However, some other people feel that same way about Intel. So let the argument die, please.
 
 BTW, my system specs:
 
 my main computer (notebook):
 P4 1.6
 512 MB ram
 30 GB hard drive
 ATI Radeon
 15" XGA screen
 DVD/CDRW combo drive
 Linksys wireless network PC card
 WinXP Pro
 
 desktop:
 P4 1.6
 512 MB DDR2100
 80 GB hard drive
 64 MB Geforce 2
 17" flat panel
 DVD
 CDRW
 WinXP Pro
 
 Both are connected to my DSL modem through a Linksys router with a wireless access point (so I can use the laptop anywhere)
 
 servers:
 
 P3 550
 512 MB Ram
 50 GB hard drive
 Redhat 7.2
 
 
 Sun Ultra 2
 dual 400 mhz Ultrasparc processors
 512 MB ram
 20 GM hard drive
 Solaris 8
 
 The servers are currently on a network in a small office connected to my airplane hangar. The run on a business SDSL line.
 
 
 EQemu runs perfectly. I run the server on the P3 at the hangar and the client on either home system. MySQL runs on the Ultra 2.
