We have 8500s in our machines at home.. Looks like there might be some nice
new upgrades in the latest AIw.. any opinions? Looks like they added some
tivo like functionality, tv soap, and looks like there are also some nice 3d
speed enhancements.

We run 2.6 gig p4 machines here.. will we really see any gaming
enhancements?
