Another reason to go with AMD

Wow.. I don't see how you can say that. The Core 2 Duo is blowing away the top of the line AMD in benchmarks. Since when are benchmarks games? It's premature to call it a win for gaming until it's actually used (and performs better) in actual games, both new and old. Wouldn't be the first time something benchmarked great and fell down in actual use. Xocyll -- I don't particularly want you to FOAD, myself.

I have no issue with using a Core 2 Duo for gaming, not at all... it IS a good choice, for some people, but it is not "good", "best" or anything of this sort until all the applicable parameters are considered, not just "who has highest performance level regardless of cost, regardless of where the bottleneck was, or if that bottleneck was even relevant to the user's needs". One thing is for certain, "value" it is not. There are now several CPUs under $100 that can provide acceptible framerates. Let Core 2 Duo completely replace the older CPUs and ramp up in speed and THEN it will be better positioned as a value choice too. |

It's premature to think "winner" means something too, unless of course there's a false notion that only highest end parts sell. Nope, its a winner in the sense that one is the best to buy for gaming. Nope, "fastest to buy" maybe, Gets sillier by the minute. but then we'd have to arbitrarily assume that fastest is better, that the framerate wouldn't be high enough otherwise- which is obviously not true, people are in fact gaming right now w/o Core 2 Duo. Irrelevant to what is best value for gaming. You are horribly confused, We'll see... paying more value. Pity no one ever said it was. Since gamers are playing ok on CPUs costing less, your "value" argument is nonsense. Nope, most obviously when it plays better on the better system. I have no issue with using a Core 2 Duo for gaming, not at all... it IS a good choice, for some people, but it is not "good", "best" or anything of this sort until all the applicable parameters are considered, not just "who has highest performance level regardless of cost, regardless of where the bottleneck was, or if that bottleneck was even relevant to the user's needs". Pity no one ever said anything about either. One thing is for certain, "value" it is not. Pity I never ever said that it was. I JUST said that your stupid pig ignorant claim that The real winner is the one that can deliver the most in the value segment. is just plain wrong. There are now several CPUs under $100 that can provide acceptible framerates. Irrelevant to your stupid pig ignorant claim that The real winner is the one that can deliver the most in the value segment.
