If you are happy with your current setup then there's no need to change. Constantly 40 fps should be alright. But if you buy a new computer or aren't happy with your current framerates you should look for a good 3d accelerator (wich is much more important for FGFS than the CPU speed). nVidia has the fastest (with ATI being 2nd) 3d accelerators around. And they are under Linux as fast as under windows. So they are usually a save bet.
