Microsoft ramping up the spin machine to push "Games for Windows" tbh.

PC Gamer has a nice article this month all about Games for Windows, and I think it's a much needed for the computer gaming world.

The article makes it out like a $5,000 computer is the counterpart to an xbox 360 or PS3, when in reality you can far surpass the console graphics with much, much, much cheaper systems.

this is a classic example of people trying to sound like they know what they're talking about when they clearly dont. everyone on this forum knows that a c2d e6600 can match or outperform a core 2 extreme with enough tweaking. if you're lucky, you can even do this on air. to suggest that you NEED a $10k computer to play games acceptably is flat-out false. a $2k-$3k machine can more than match visual quality and framerates on an xbox 360, and it will have less jaggies (yea, im looking at YOU, madden 07)
