Then what caused the decline

On a somewhat related topic, I met a client today, had an email from someone at AT in the window, and he said, "Did it just say An And Tech?"

I said where, looked through, and said, "Was it this?" He said yeah, turned out he's read a book that Anand published about hardware for gaming and was very familiar with the site... it's a pretty small world, he's not too active on the forums, but he reads the main site a lot

That was my first guess too. Conroe was "unvieled" in Q1 2006.

Nothing, there was no spike. It was Alexa's ranking factors reassessment. In other words, Alexa sucks and means nothing.

This is likely a much more accurate approximation:

Hardware. Same with the spike in 05 with the new dual cores...and before that just the latest editions.

Seemed like the old site was more active than it was now, with a new mobo war coming out every week, but I don't even read it anymore so what do I know...

Agreed... maybe it's just a phase people go through or something, but I really stopped caring after a while about what came out - I haven't needed anything faster than what we had back in 2003/2004 and still find the releases from back then to be more than what I need on a desktop... I guess I'm not much of a gamer though so that's probably why.

Look at other sites ... it would appear that Alexa had more clients installed ...
