now that's another debate entirely... according to the boffins the 360 is THE machine... I got stuck into a few flame wars until the following article was posted. It's "written" by a guy that develops on both platforms... http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-348-1.htm

I'm not reading it, I made up my decision from owning an XBOX, playing a PS3, selling my XBOX and buying a PS3 because I liked the graphics better. They just seemed cleaner, and sharper. Loading times are so close I don't really care. The fact that PS3 has BlueRay is another big sell for me, and you get free online gaming. Sort of a no-brainer for me. There's no way i'd bother buying 'points' so I can play online.......that just downright sucks and is expensive.

Two consoles, one has BlueRay, free online gaming. The other no BluRay, and you gotta pay for online play. The graphics are similar, probably slightly better on the first. Easy decision.

The one major issue I have with the PS3 is that you cannot play Fable. I never got around to playing Fable 2, that's about it!

Tis very much an each to his won... just like pc's and latops... For me it was the 360 all the way. XBOX1 was stunning in comparison to the first 2 PS incarnations, plus it had Halo... but again, each to their own. Might have to get me an 360 again, i've had 3 and each time i've had a kid i've sold it... time for another me thinks...

Well seeing as I don't have a PS3 it is quite difficult to game with thin air. Oh I guess I could play cards by myself or something?

Could get it down to mid 50's with an aftermarket setup which was very common for amds but most people ran the stock heatsink on the intels. Bit of history anyway

Celerons in laptops often seem to sit at about 75 and under load you see em running up to the low 90's. Scary.

This thread has been quite interesting. As I said earlier I am still running a 4 year old dell inspiron with windows 7. I upgraded to 250gb hdd and 2gb of ram last year and it is equally

Everyone who's touched Win 7 seems super impressed with it. Even some of my Mac owning customers. Now if I could just find a nice billet alluminium laptop running Win 7.

desktop anyway, thats what xbox is for.

Agreed. That's why my shite old sempron 2400 is still sat in my office doing it's day to day email, excel, invoicing and surfing tasks.

I always used the Athlons and never had any probs with them running hot at all... then again though, was living in a caravan in Argyll... nothing ever got hot in that place... well nothing that'd i'd like to talk about.

Apart from :-
