There was no need to try to bill this article as CPU vs GPU.  The GPU:CPU price ratio quoted was only 1.9:1.  Your dream machine 2007 was 1.75:1 and spent the Maximum possible amount on GPUs at the time (2x8800 Ultras).  Other systems reviewed in the past have scored a MaximumPC 9 and had over a 2:1 ratio.  Even your Zero Point system was probably right around 2:1.  I would say 1.9:1 is pretty reasonable.

You spent so much brain-bytes on trying to spin this as a CPU vs GPU article that you barely got the important point across:  this system is horribly OVERPRICED for the performance.
