    I saw "the tests were conducted on AMD’s upcoming Dragon platform, which contains a quad-core Phenom II, a Radeon 4800 graphics card, and an AMD 790 chipset" ... that set up sounds wicked!

    AMD has always been in the game. They just chose to cater to a different crowd than Intel. That's why Intel's higher end stuff is so expensive (Nehalem at the cheapest for CPU/mobo/DDR3 will cost you $900, $300 for each). Then again, most people never require a fraction of the power of this setup...
