Gamers Drive High-End PC Market

CNN reports that "Gamers drive souped-up PC market". Good job CNN.

Shhhh! My parents think you need a high-end PC for studying computer science (hah!) and duly support me buying one, you're costing me real money here! ;)

Well, yeah. I will officially give up computing when I need a two gigahertz P4 and a $500 video card to do a Word mail-merge...

Well, It is nice to be watching 10 porn videos, while ripping mp3s of the 70's porn style music, and chatting in #hotseattle on irc. Now Intel has released its 2.8ghz cpu, I can be even more productive!
gotta make sure I post this anonymously...
The specs on Kevin Atkison's latest computer could just as easily be for some newfangled street cruiser: Blue neon light tubes, Corsair XMS 3200 DDR memory and a GeForce 3 video card, all wrapped in a shiny aluminum Lian Li case with a clear plastic side window for easy viewing.

We dropped off our boxes of punchcards at the window and came back the NEXT day to pick up the printout. To find that the program crashed due to a fencepost error.

I was going to pick up NWN, but once I saw on the box that the "Optimal System Requirements" included a 2 tone case fan, I thought I'd hold off. I want maximum performance out of the games I buy.
I'll have something intelligent to add one of these days...
