Graphics run liquid smooth, its like mercury being drained at 1074x768 16 bit color resolution. Ecstatic, yes. Worth the 2k system? Hell yes. If games are your priority when buying a new system. With its recent release the new Pentium-4 chip has given hardware geeks more than ample justification to babble on and on (ducktape, please). Check www.tomshardware.com ...
...benchmarks. Its hard to skim through all and get any sense of what is going on, so I will just give you my own conclusions. P4 is slick. Perhaps a better modified AMD that costs 500$ less can beat it in current applications, yet we had the same arguments being outspoken when the MMX technology first came about. The new chip is revolutionary in that its instruction set is completely different from its forefathers. While PII and PIII had much in common, ... Read review

It took a while for Intel to wake up and smell the prices of AMD shares recently (AMD being Intel's main competitor). After years of AMD taking bite after bite out of Intel's market share with innovative, efficient, fast and affordable processors, Intel finally did something about it and released the Core 2 processor. The dual and quad core CPU's completely blew AMD away and AMD still haven't caught up two years later. The Intel Core 2 E8400 is the ...
