AGP DOMINATION always includes Carl AS ROCK Weathers, and Core 2 or QUAD Core 2 DUO (French) processors as well.

Ouch...

Not only performance boosts, I usually had a better display with a higher resolution with most of the upgrades. 15" CRT (800x600 / 1024x768) -> 17" CRT (1024x768, 1600x1200) -> 17" LCD (1280x1024, crystal sharp image finally) -> 46" HDTV (1920x1080)
