Average Steam-enabled games players, more like? Because the average casual gamer surely isn't downloading her games via Valve's service.
My thoughts exactly.
What I found interesting, is this one:
AuthenticAMD 188,531 48.54 %
GenuineIntel 199,821 51.45 %
Now keep in mind that Intel still has a 76% market share, which means that AMD's are over-represented in this survey. Before the core 2 Duo's came out, 'power gamers' were more likely to use high-end AMD chips. I wonder how much that is skewing the results?
I would expect the 'casual game' market to follow the actual CPU marketshare's a lot closer than this survey did... So I doubt how relevant this survey really is to the casual market (as opposed to the 'people who actually ordered stuff from Steam'-group)
another interesting one:
4:3 aspect ratio monitor: 86.20%
16:9 aspect ratio monitor: 13.25%
So obviously 4:3 is still king, but there's a significant number of widescreens out there.
and this one:
Monitor refresh rate 60Hz: 63.98 %
That's a good one to know. But one can only hope that a good percentage of that is made up of LCD's, rather than people staring at a flickering screen all day. :-?
And this one:
only between 1.89% and 2.93% of users has a desktop resolution below 1024x768.
