Seems like no one read the source article.

If I paid 2k for a system and it kept crashing, or lacked performance because of configuration errors I'd be a seriously unhappy customer.  This is a fail on digital storms front. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bnapy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 17th 2009 12:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Digital Storm's gaming rig shows that Core i5 can trump i7]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/digital-storms-gaming-rig-shows-that-core-i5-can-trump-i7/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/digital-storms-gaming-rig-shows-that-core-i5-can-trump-i7/</guid><description><![CDATA[@bnapy Agreed to some extent.
