Not really the truth. MS is shifting from CPU to GPU rendering - NOT using both, but using mainly the GPU of your system. Other than that, the chart only shows a pre-Alpha Version of IE9. MS promises the IE9 will pass the ACID3 test completely and be at least as fast as the competition. If that turns out to be true, MS will finally be back in the ring and we will have 5 good browsers competing against each others - a good example of how competition results in more value.

Seems to be. Maybe its just a 1st Gen Case. Nobody knows except for those (lucky) dutch guys.

Doesn't look that thick. Hard to believe this is it. But if it is - well done, Apple. I like it. Shiny, but still robust and not that damageable as its predecessor.

T-minus. Deutsche Telekom, I hear you calling.

My "Impressive" statement was blank irony. 1m units for a AAA titel like Crysis ist crap. Total crap.

And if they're going backwards graphic-wise - why not? Optimise it for one or a max. of two hardware sets, and A LOT OF PEOPLE will buy it. It's simple math.

Why do you think GTA IV is first published on consoles? Exactly, 'cause it costed 100m bucks to get developed. And TakeTwo, as every publisher who spends horrendous amounts of money, wants to get their investments back and even earn some money.

I'll promise you - if the whole industry doesn't get rid of the piracy issue - bye bye Gaming-PCs. NVIDIA & ATI still earn enough with their console departments.

Wow.

1 million Crysis sold. That's impressive.

How many Call of Duty 4s have been sold for the 360 & PS3? And how many for the PC?

And didn't Cevat Yerli (Crytek CEO, maker of Crysis) recently stated, that due to pirating-issues the Crysis successor won't be PC-only? And that piracy will eventualy destroy the whole PC-Gaming sector?

Yeah, you're right, he didn't.

"We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing Crysis. We seem to lead the charts in piracy by a large margin, a chart leading that is not desirable. I believe that’s the core problem of PC Gaming, piracy. To the degree PC Gamers that pirate games inherently destroy the platform. Similar games on consoles sell factors of 4-5 more. It was a big lesson for us and I believe we wont have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future. We are going to support PC, but not exclusive anymore."

Finally. The PC as a game device is dead anyways - so why not dropping the whole XPS series? Dell should focus on energy effiecient PCs, Laptops, Nettops and Servers. That's not the future - that's where the present focus is on, whether you look at company or private interests.

Thanks for mentioning the guy who send this in.

Neither DVI, nor HDMI or DisplayPort?

Not for me.

Yep.
