How does processor affect the gaming experience?

Hello,

My question "How does processor affect the gaming experience?" I have a Dual Core 1.6 GHZ PC. I had probs playing games, but I upgraded the graphic card and now I play advanced games. I mean new recent games. Modern Warfare etc. etc. I did the same with my old pc, which was a Intel P4 celeron. This pcs had only the graphic card prob.

So why games asking for a better processor. ?

When comparing nVidia with ATI and DDR (You know DDR2, 3, 5) What do u think is the best. At first glance I went with the ATI because I saw that ATI has much higher pixel shader than nvidia. I'm sure there might be other factors as well, but no idea about them.
