Dan,
It's almost certainly correct. Why? Because I bought a 2200+ last week...
LOL. I don't think you would be able to detect much of a difference between 2200, 2400 and 2600.
I am running on 1.33 GHz Tbird, and I don't feel much of a need to upgrade. There was one game (Morrowind) that was a bit sluggish, which was corrected by an upgrade to GF4-4600). Now the game is fine, very responsive. I am not sure what remains to be the bottleneck now, if the video card or the CPU. On extremely complex scenes, at 1600 x 1200, with video quality at the max, everything enabled, the refresh rates still drops, but I am not sure if it is the CPU or the video card. I guess I could test it by overclocking the video card. (I can't overclock the CPU cleanly, since my motherboard does not support changing multipliers).
Everything else runs just fine with the CPU I have. I have not done any DVD ripping lately, but I am going to Europe in a week, and if I find some good stuff (DVDs) for the kids there, I will have to do the ripping / PAL -> NTSC conversion. So I may think again about upgrading the CPU.
