HP-Compaq-Voodoo...

their quality of gaming systems have just gone way up now. more competition for the other guys, less competition for HP.

nVidia and ATI on feirce graphics wars, one buying out the other... that will be one of the biggest stepping stones in graphics history. LOL it's too crazy too imagine at this point of time, though.

I always thought Falcon-Northwest ripped you off...until I saw the pricing at VoodooPC .

Alienware/Dell makes more sense.

"Intel created a monster with Core 2 Duo by using similar DNA as its Pentium M processors. Yes it is true that Intel has a better platform, but in terms of architecture the company is still behind AMD and Intel?s people know this. By architecture I am referring to the scalability of the company?s current product line. AMD will scale better under multiple processors thanks to its integrated memory controller and HyperTransport, but Intel?s processors are now arguably more efficient as they draw less power and produce less heat.

As most of you are no doubt aware, AMD announced its 4x4 technology in July. Many questions have come up since the announcement regarding the potential real-world benefits for gamers and enthusiasts. With Intel Kentsfield around the corner and AMD 4x4 on the way, the concept of multithreaded gaming is becoming an exciting reality. Of course it?s not all about multithreaded gaming for AMD; there are many more benefits of 4x4 which may be realized thanks to the company?s flexible architecture."

--msg: I'd like to see AMD catch up in the ballgame? I doubt their is any headroom for the sales AMD is about to lose this x-mas, and they know it, they probably have the word "conroe" posted on all of their working computers to try to come out with a better product line as far as processors go.
