So, as I mentioned I would give my impressions.
First, I was honestly surprised to see that my eVGA Geforce 6200 card worked. The mobo only has AGP 2X support so it will not be speedy by any means. Second off, even with just 512 megs of RAM and a slower processor, with a GPU running a HUGE monitor by the standards of the day (1680x1050 on a LCD 22"), it doesn't actually feel much slower. That said I really noticed the difference when I was cropping the pictures to show you folks; Paint took a second to readjust the image whereas my Athlon II X4 or even my Pentium Dual Core laptop would have made the change essentially instantaneously.
And I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 as we speak and it doesn't seem terribly sluggish or anything.

Gives some credence to the notion that one might just be a tad spoiled by all this new hardware out there.
