1. I support AMD because they keep competition going + processors are good. 2. To bad for quad cores processors because very very few take advantage of them, if any. 3. Programming in multi threads is a B***H. Thats why the cell is so hard to program for + they are assymetrical. The cell would be horrible for Desktop and not cost effective for game developers. It would have been nice if somehow they allowed the 4 cores to work as one, two, and four when needed. From what Ive learned, when an application/game doesnt take advantage of multi cores, only one core does the job while the other hangs for additional applications or background programs. Sure thats less stress on individual cores, but its not faster as in GHz speed. Then again you have to take heat and power consumption into account so ... whatever.

emgesp, PC games use to look a lot better when compared to their xbox/ps2 counterparts, but now the 360 has the horsepower to rival a high end pc. I dont know what resolution, or AA they are using on the first image but the 360 looks slightly better. I still think that you can't compare the accuracy of using the mouse/keyboard combo to a controller when it comes to FPS. Same can be said with driving games but the other way around. That's why Im sold with my 360 being better then my PC for now but I still go back to the PC for Battlefield 2, CounterStrike...for now and other FPS. BioShock is sick though for the 360 and I'm glad I bought it instead of the PC version.
