note that if the 800Mhz Hammer benches that showed it roughly eqiv. to a 1.6 GHz P4 from a while back are any indication, a 2GHz hammer will stomp all over a 3GHz P4

"Gamers who practice 12 to 16 hours a day developing the skills and instincts vital to being competitive need to make sure their equipment doesn't fail them at that critical junction," says Achanzar.

Twelve to 16 hours a day, huh? That's just sad. People who do this kind of thing shouldn't be playing games. They should be hospitalized.

this read like an ad, he didn't even give any good info other that tout stats/make it sound impressive. at least he could have explained some... anyhow isn't there quite a bit of conflict of interest in this story? it's like intel sponsoring a some site then getting themself an interview from that site. this is almost as bad the time avault interviewed angel munoz(who probably wrote that interview himself).
