Its a fantastic resource... it tells you an awful lot about what the average gaming pc is like.
For example, amd to intel processors are roughly 50/50, more people are on nvidia cards, the 6600 is very popular, more people with nvidia cards update their drivers than people with ati cards, most people use realtek ac97 audio.

Just goes to show we are nowhere near representative of the average gaming pc.

It does seem a little low though... i wonder if many of the people with 2gb of ram are falling into the 1.5-1.99gb category?

looking at it again, i would think so, theres only 4.2% on 1gb but a huge number on 512-999
