Mainstream Quad Core Processors Compared from AMD and Intel

"In this review we compare AMD's latest AM2+ based Phenom X4 9850 to Intel's mainstream Q9300 Processor. Which one gives you more performance for the buck? Answering this question is not as straightforward as you might think. With AMD aggressive pricing and new B3 revision does it stand a chance against an upgraded Q6600? Let us find out."

I loves me some House of the Dead! I once beat II (I think it was II anyway...) on $1.00, gunslinger style, gun in each hand...I've also feed over $20 into a machine in one go...good times, good times. It's hard to find a working HotD machine, most are missing a gun or just flatout don't work and that takes all the fun out

Sorry for my ignorance, but this must be a rail shooter?

This must be great for the Wii. No quarters needed!

House of the dead 2 was a blast. I played that only once it was on new years eve/day at a buddies house. We were all extremely out there that night and had a xbox hooked up to a projector on the wall blasting away zombies for hours. truly good stuff!

And to the other poster, yes, it is a rail shooter.
