I agree.  I have seen at least one interview with nVidia wher this very
point was brought up, and all nVidia would say was that a faster CPU
will always give you better performance.  Seems pretty obvious, but they
certainly did not go out of their way to indicate that blazing
performance would be possible with a slow CPU.
