Back a couple years, it was dependent mostly on the CPU and Memory, these days the GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) has about as much to do with speed in areas such as gaming. A good mix of CPU, Memory, GPU and FSB speed is desirable. And if playing say, an online game like Counter-Strike, a fast, low latency connection is vital to a good experience.

I am running an Abit MOBO w/800 mhz FSB, 2 gig of Corsair matched ULL memory, a P4, 3.2 ghz CPU, an ATI X800XL Pro graphics card with a Seagate 120 gig HDD primary and a WD 80 gig slave HDD.
