You stole these from the letter where a lady was being banned from Walmart....................................X360PS3AMD05

Is that actually..ya kno'..a bad thing?

The problem is DX10, its horribly resource-intensive and we have yet to see a lot of practical benefit to its (based upon benchmarks) doubled requirements.

30 fps on high settings with a hd2900pro?

thats a very tough sell.

Maybe you need to actually read his post?

Hold a cross-store football game with one inzone being the Deli and tackle random people as you play.

P.S. I think that the code red in aisle 3 should be code blue.

Nobody is really random and I pretty much guarantee you its a hoax. Even with all the publicity about school violence schools are some of the absolute safest places to be.

Yeah we've gotten bomb threats... lots of em... shooting warnings too... kinda scary at times but we're used to the lockdowns now. :PSandro909

Bomb threats, fires, couple of "gang" fights (wannabe losers), and a stabbing..and yet thats still a heck of a lot less crap than went on in even just a couple of weeks in one of my old neighborhoods.

[QUOTE="RichterBelmont7"]Oh good job Gamespot you simultaneously said the game is too hard and too easy! :lol:Ibacai

Yeah, I just found it funny how they managed to knock it on both of those.

Okay then, lets talk about the Phenom X4..if the retail pricing markdowns follow a similar trend compared to many of Intel's quad-cores then the value for money should be roughly equivalent, furthermore Tom's Hardware has a thorough piece that shows it as being very strong when it comes to encoding/decoding and compression/decompression so it may be very popular with professional content creation (once they can scale).

However, its integer performance and games performance is a big disappointment, so AMD only has a couple of options there:

1. Scale quickly - Tom's Hardware got to 3Ghz up from 2.4Ghz (25%) with stock cooling..if the retail product is anything like that they should be able to scale well and be good for overclocking also.

2. Rely on the rest of the platform - This is probably not the best idea, even with the great value to cost proposition and other additional benefits to the Spider platform (lower wattage, CrossFireX) if they don't do something to bring their CPUs up to parity more quickly they risk losing everything.

The performance is about 15% slower and it's generally only $40-$50 more expensive.

The lowest price I'm seeing on 8800GTs is $269.99 and prices at over $300 are not very uncommon.
