Hi Mister Pink ,

>>> No, I haven't. But to be clear... Intel doesn't make the motherboards, they make the chipsets. <<<

Are you sure about this? From what I've read Intel is the biggest supplier of motherboards, with Gateway and Dell both using them. CPQ tends to make it's own.

>>> This isn't a problem for platform games. <<<

Stupid question, but what is platform game. Is that like the Playstation and N64?

>>> But I think there will always be a market for FPS games; too many people enjoy it. <<<

FPS games get boring unless you're playing against others. Given that it takes a while to learn a game's maps, and given the massive following for Quake and Quake II, do you think the majority of online gamers will just stay with Id's stuff since they are familiar and comfortable with it? I'm just wondering what kind of impact Unreal will have on the market. There seems to be a lot of pent-up demand for it, but will the die hard Quakers buy a copy, too.
