I didn’t get a special deal, I got a i7 and clocked it on a kick ass mobo. Of course, you can’t do that with a Mac. I have a console too, but for gaming nothing beats a keyboard and mouse. Tell me, what kind of PC are you rocking, because it seems like all the big talkers are running 2006 tech. At least itsahoot puts his money where his mouth is. If some of you guys knew half as much about hardware as you know about X,Y or Z operating system you’d be dangerous.
I thought you said I'd have to pay $1,000 for that chip. As far as clocking, I don't do that anymore. I prefer to run a chip at its rated speed and get the stability that comes with it.

I've been building PCs since the early 90s. I'm perfectly capable of building my own hot-rod box, but that's not a hobby of mine anymore, not worth my time unless somebody's paying me to do it. Now I just want a computer that works.
BTW, my Mac is two years old, and I still like using it, with no modifications. I can't say that for any PC I've owned.
