What they are saying is that by going the AMD way with a 3-core and their platform you are set to play modest gaming while the Intel system isn't as good in that regards while spending less money than the Intel setup. There's usually a caveat stated, but after watching the video I think that's what they are getting at. ------------------------- Multi-Core Upgrade Guide Do you want a world ranking?

Yeah, I'm guessing pairing the ATI HD4750/4780 with an Intel C2D system would yield the same if not better results? Or is the 780G/790GX that has these High Definition engines?

The ones that most people out there would picking up off the shelves or building a cheap computer that can do some actual light gaming. ------------------------- Multi-Core Upgrade Guide Do you want a world ranking?

ATi Radeon mobile vs. intel mobile graphics emulator --> the % is very valid. ------------------------- World's best Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge mod and Star Trek: Starfleet Command 3 mod: Overmind.ro

monte84 Elite Posts: 2174 Joined: 10/06/2003	Are there any good triple core vs quad core reviews out there? Also, shame Intel's initial quad core offering was just two dual cores, leaves them in an untapped makret for tri-cores. Wonder if thats something they will start to do with nehalem or w/e they call. I hardly keep up anymore with hardware, well, minus AMD/ATi. Im diehard fan. ------------------------- Phenom II X 1055T @3.64Ghz 1.425V NB @ 2800Mhz HTT @ 2800Mhz Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5 8GB Crucial Ballistix @ 1866 8-8-8-24-33-1T AMD Radeon HD6950 2GB GDDR5 shaders @1536 OC to 840/1300
