well I've not long had myquad core Phenom ( 3rd revision, after the fucked up ones were replaced ) and i'm happy with it. I don't do Intel and I'd rather not do Nvidia ( for reasons of bigotry ) but as ATI have been lacking in the gpu department recently and i was disappointed with my HD3870 crossfire setup I've plumped for the new 280's. Which are outstanding.
I know that AMD have a 12 core on the testbed that will blow Intel out of the water and as soon as it's on sale and economically feasible I'll probably build another box around that.

it's all going to get a lot more interestingintel have been going on a big spending spree for folk with graphics tech knowledge starting about a year ago
who knows, they might come up with something that doesn't suck completely
as long as they don't all collude on price fixing too much something nice should happen :)

it's all going to be a huge waste ofmoney for the consumer in the next 2 years as it will be graphics on the CPU with aegia physics too after that. ( I have an aegia physics card )
I think I may have slowed down then. DX10.1 and shader 4.1 is cool for me for some time to come

now that nvidia have taken over ageia things might take off a bit, depends what their plans arebut really the whole general multicore cpu/gpu thing is where it's at, aegia is just one system, nvidia no doubt bought it because they know that gpu based physics isn't quite there yet and they no doubt have a cunning plan
nvidia are providing the sdk for free without having to sacrifice a goat, that's an improvement from before
