Yeah, when I went back and read your first post, I realized we were kinda saying the same thing. :)
Still, I don't think that people who are only playing the classics like HL, CS, and TFC are doing it on PCs with 512 MB of RAM and GeForce 6600s. All three of those games ran like butter on my P3 550 MHz, 128 MB RAM, TNT2 Ultra. The average spec PC according to the survey can run HL2 like a champ, but what's important is that it shows that a lot of these people haven't upgraded their computers beyond that level. These are definitely people who would be interested in games like TF2 and new episodic content for Half-Life.
