Build an Optimized PC today

[Apoptosis]

The Optimized PC was a buzz in the news this week. An Optimized PC is a PC that has the correct balance of CPU and GPU horsepower. For today’s visual computing applications you need to make sure your PC has the right mix of CPU/GPU horsepower in order to deliver the best experience. Whether you’re using the latest operating systems, viewing or editing photos, finding directions, playing a game, or watching a Blu-ray movie, a balanced PC with the right GPU makes your PC run silky smooth, with amazing visuals.

Many North American etailers are live with Optimized PC Landing Pages & Banners

Here are the NVIDIA Landing pages for example:

i wonder why, they are false advertising really, they claim it's balanced when it's not, they just want you to spend more money on nvidia!

Hmm... Yes... Nvidia wants you to buy graphics cards even if your needs can be met by the motherboard's integrated graphics.
