    Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

    I still own everything, it's just not all hooked up. Horray for closet/attic space!

    Several PCs (Only two hooked up, right now)
    Two Laptops (One I haven't used in a long time)

    XBox
    PS2
    Gamecube
    Sega Dreamcast
    Nintendo 64
    Playstation
    Sega Genesis
    Super Nintendo
    Nintendo
    Sega Master System
    Intellivision (This is in the attic, somewhere)

    Playstation Portable
    Gameboy Advance
    Gameboy Color
    Game Gear
    Gameboy
    Virtual Boy

    Sad to say I never owned an Atari. I was in fact extremely young when I (read: my older brother) got the Sega Master System. Intellivision my dad had got before I was born. Everything Playstation and on was my systems. Everything before that was technically my brother's. (I always got the second controller. ), but I eventually seized control of them after he got other hobbies.

    *yawn* AMD fanboys will never learn. Intel is and always will be highly competitive. In fact, the latest and greatest quads coming out by AMD still don't compare with the Conroe core. ...AMD should have wasted their time and effort taking over ATI. They're falling behind. Sure, they'll be back up there, but anyone who really takes sides really has to look at the facts.

    Thanks for trying to derail the thread with rhetoric and blatant assumptions.

    You're welcome. You must think I'm assuming you only use AMD and there for you're an AMD fan boy; I didn't. However regardless of what you choose to use, AMD, Mac, ... IBM, I suppose. You decided to single out Intel and that's what makes your an AMD fan boy. ...and welcome to General Discussion; The land of eventually off-topic posts.

    Not really, though. The newer Xeons (Woodcrest?) are supposed to be significantly better than the opetrons. I've never used either, myself, however. Both names are highly competitive in almost all respects. They go back and forth, I just don't know how anyone can take either side. Just go with what's leading at the time. You won't be disappointed.

    I just pulled my original Gameboy out, today. I was going to see if it worked but it needed batteries I don't have so I didn't bother. :/ Maybe tomorrow. I think it still works, though.
