off/on topic. the minor improvements in storyfrom wow for dconline alone took the online multiplayer up many notches. so on top of the much more story in tor, and that swtor has 10 times more content. literally. this game is going to rule.
If it weren't for all the delays with Fusion they would've had a decent chance, but now with HD3000 Intel's IGP is finally good enough for everyday and light-gaming use, and Ivy Bridge is supposed to have a significant GPU upgrade on top of that. So unless AMD can really get devs to buy into the APU development model (ie making GPGPU a mainstream, everyday technology) they're going to be second fiddle to Intel's faster core-for-core architectures for the forseeable future.

someone correct me if i'm wrong but the apus have way more graphic horsepower. the problem with apus is that the cpu area of the chip is lacking. in gamingtests the apu destroys the hd3000 but with raw cpu tasks sandybridge cleans up. The tests i reviewed were things like compressing a 20 minute movie that the sandybridge cleaned up.
ya im a bit interested too where theyre going to take the product. i'm talking about using them as a gaming platform strictly. which is all i'm interested in. i'm loving my set up. a8 and 6750m. makes gaming a bit more fun with the visual splash.. :D
