Take a look at the forum (especially older posts). I have kowtowed to better knowledge and insight plenty of times. I'm not above anyone in this forum. I don't believe myself brighter, more knowledgeable, or more special than anyone else. I'm here to keep the peace, while bringing what knowledge I can. I'm here to ban those asking for it. I'm here to try to stop arguments before they come to bans. Believe me when I say that I wield the banhammer
far less than some other moderators (you should see the appeals forum). I'm fortunate in that this forum section is small enough and tight knit enough that I can just hop into a thread and say "c'mon guys, let's be nice". In the bigger forums (think class forums or General Discussion), the mods would have to do that every other post. Instead, it often turns into "ban first, question later". I can't say I envy them.
That went a bit off topic, but the point stands. I don't believe I've ever been bullheaded enough to stick behind a belief when proven wrong. vesseblah has proven me wrong, and I've accepted it (hell, probably multiple times, lol). None has proven me wrong, and I've accepted it. That's just two among more.
I'm not backing off of this one, though. In situations where people aren't pairing components that have no business together or using a non-gaming system like an Inspiron as a gaming system, the CPU will manage the minimum framerate. It's an established truth. Minimum research is needed to show you whether a GPU is garbage or not. The GeForce 310 that you mentioned earlier isn't even sold by NewEgg. For $40, you can get a
Radeon 5450, which is above the point where a GPU will bottleneck you. It takes a very specific setup to be GPU bottlenecked, and those setups are almost uniformily not gaming setups.
