The much-talked about PhysX processor by Ageia is now finally obtainable for consumers-- sort of. Dell has launched the XPS 600 Renegade: a limited edition computer with four GeForce 7900 cards connected via SLI, Intel Pentium D 965 Extreme Edition (overclocked to 4.26 Ghz), and 2GB of GDDR3 memory, and of course the PhysX processor. That's a $10000 [EUR 8280] gamer's wet dream. Alienware couldn't watch silently by the sideline of course, and it also equipped some of its digital solitare machines with the PhysX processor.

So your both posts are saying it is hardware that determines if the person wins the game? If so, I think IMHO that is not quite right. I would like teh Alienware setup simply because it is nice looking and has a crapload of hardware that next gen games are gonig to demand if you want to game at ultra hd resolutions...not so I can go online in a frag fest and own everybody. I am a decent payer at AA and Bfield and many times ni fact have been kicked because people think I am ghosting or hacking when i havent. I have a 3 yr old laptop with a beat up mouse that I use to game...the hardware does not matter....much is all I am trying to say.

No, my 3 posts are NOT saying it is hardware that determines if the person wins the game. READ again my 3 posts...!!!
Ping and hardware determine the winner between 2 players with equal skills, though !!!

If you like it, it's OK for you then... You are free to feel so, though I personally think the design is a lack of class and taste... About the hardware for future games, I can agree with you in that.
--".the hardware does not matter....much is all I am trying to say."
If "hardware does not matter....much", then buy a second hand box, a Pentium I MMx, or a Pentium II and play with it... or a first generation Pentium III if it is the minimum requierement for your game... Why would you need to use a super gaming PC, like an Alienware PC ????
Don't forget to let us know the results of your gamning experiences with that hardware!!! Tell us about your feats, and how you own so much with that hardware ...

Funny... My post was just a surrealistic joke, with a depth of truth, ovbiously.!!!!
But some people seem to be very touchy, and probably think it was an allusion to them...
Well, sonnyBoy, if you take that as something personal is probably because you know that you are not a Real Fragger, but a "Ping FRAGGOT" and "PC FRAGGOT", and it hurts you... LOL
--"So which is it? Hardware or skills? "
No contradiction, Its Skills, but since better hardware gives you more advantage, (unfair, but real...), is more authentic to hack your PC than spending some thounsend of Euros or Dollars in a "Galactic gaming PC"
--"Do the really hard core uber 3l337 players design, program, and build their own FPGAs to run their computers, too?"
WTF are you talkin about???
and yes, some people have build their own PCs, and even their own games to play!!! What do you think Mods are but that, or Cube, or Nexuiz...
--"Real players aren't mentally retarded and can resist slapping eachother with their epenis."
Probably, but I play with my hands. I use my penis for other things . And you, you can use your "epenis" for what you want aswell. But I advice you to stop wanking from time to time ... and to grow up !
--"Oh, and they don't surround their posts with exclamation marks."
Some of them do!!!
BY the way:
Did I ever Gaunlet You in a game??? ... Probably, LOL
Sorry , I will try not to hurt you too much if I ever find you in a server... But do not worry, It's about 8 months that I do not play, I have more important things to do, I have tendinitis in my arm because of the PC(not for gaming), and the PC in which I have QuakeIII installed has my gaming internet connection broken after I installed VMware (don't know why ???) So ur lucky !!!
