In regards to your 3rd reason for upgrading cpu-mobo first : 3rd generation processors = P3 and Athlon / Thunderbird.

4th generation would be the AMD Palamino and Intel P4.

It might work better with these generations of processors because of .. say .. new instructions for optimal gaming conditions, but it does not at ALL mean the video card would perform like shit on a 2nd generation processor : it simply means it was optimized for 3rd gens..

Just like music sounds much better on high quality speakers but also sounds nice on normal speakers..
