yes
You shouldn't ask yourself such worthless questions. Aim higher. Try this: why am I here? Why do I exist, and what is my purpose in this universe?

Thanks. And in a brief follow-up question, what would be the minimum amount of RAM you would recommend on a new eMac (1.25 ghz, 32 mg 9200 Radeon)? 512 megs? 768? I do not plan on doing any video editing or anything but I do want to run some of the upper-middle intensive games.

512MB is enough for most tasks. The step from 512MB to 1GB doesn't add much to game performance, but the step from 256 to 512 is noticeable. More memory doesn't hurt, but my personal recommendation is 512MB. Not that I'd give away my additional 512MB from my MDD, but since I use it for multitasking more than gaming, I actually use it. ;)
