I used to love Intel and Nvidia. Both companies used to be unmatched. Things must have gone down hill when the execs at Intel got rich and fat off of the stock market. All Intel could do was increase the clock speeds. Recently Intel has done something innovative with their new generation of LGA CPUs but like Nvidia did with the 6800 Ultra, both innovations were overshadowed by the fact that they were released immature in order to counter the competition. I think most agree that Nvidia is really on to something with their new video cards. But once again, they are outperformed by the top ATI card, the XT PE.
But now what does ATI do? They release a flagship video card without adequate component supplies. I've seen the XT PE priced over $750 for a $499 card. Its almost like ATI is pulling an "Enron" and artificially influencing the law of supply and demand and the consumer is getting "Munsoned"
