I think Intel/Cirix/AMD/others should just stop making chips so games can
get good on where they are... I predict once 50% or more of the market
realizes Intel's "advances" are only for its own coporate money grabbing
tactics, they'll turn away, possibly finally making the major chip makers
get a "universally upgradable" platform off the ground, i.e. Panda Project
for the mainstream....
