Is the Gaming PC Dead? 417
An anonymous reader writes "Rahul Sood, HP's CTO of gaming, argues that the days of a market that wants PCs running three $500 GPUs is history; he argues that it's really a tough or impossible sell. '... let's face it, high-end hardware has delivered diminishing returns in terms of value. This is why you don't see ridiculous offerings like Quad SLI and 2-kilowatt power supplies coming from our company.' But don't the ideas of customization and market pricing for components tend to undercut that? Is the gaming PC dead?"

What if we can get enough niggers to say it, will that convince you then? It works in TV commercials!

Ah. Now I'm reminded of why I don't have too many geek friends. They're obsessed with their operating systems more than what they can do with them. :)
Actually, being able to do something with the OS, instead of fighting with it all the time, is one of the prime reasons while people switch to OS X. A lot of my friends did, over the past two years or so, and most of them come back a few weeks after they switched and tell everyone how much more productive they have become now that the OS has stopped being in the way all the time.

Maybe later. Right now the Netcraft guys are too busy getting noobed online by some 12-year old with a quad-SLI nVidia setup with built-in nuclear cooling towers. When they're done, expect a post extolling the virtues of text-based games, ASCII art and nethack.

Try playing it at 2560x1600.
Maybe that's your mistake right there.
