Listen I don't know where you come from, but when stuff sucks on this planet people complain about it. It's one of the ways of getting what they want in the future. If people don't complain then you get the same old crap and Origin, or whoever, doesn't know why no one bought their product, or who bought their product, or why they bought their product. By the way, don't hold your breath for a P6 by next summer. And if Intel goes to RISC the damn things won't work right with half the stuff anyways, atleast game wise. PDeMaio Is that a light at the end of the tunnel or just an oncoming train?
