PCF April 2009

Post by VinceThePrince »

Man... All I can say is Well Done PCF Staffers....

First time in a while that everything in the mag appeals to me at the same time...

1) Cover - awesome enough to satisfy *guys* and gamers alike... (sorry techies... :twisted: )
2) Awesome reviews - with not that many spelling/grammatical errors
3) Gear 64 page console supplemental (not that I got mine... but Subs is sorting me out)
4) Excellent Memes section this month...
5) So much more....

Gratz and Kudo's to all....

Look i'll get the mag. But i doubt that larrabee will impress me that much.
The above is based on the info i have read so far ... So that might change I guess

Consider that PCF was 'given' the Larrabee to use in actual testing... like 3DMark 06 and Vantage... It floored... especially the specs and stuff at the end of the review.. :D :D

ok...

Will see when i get the mag . Just find it hard to believe that pcf are the first people in the world to disclose this kind of info.

http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&ei ... es&spell=1

You will note that there are no real hits on a google search.

For good reason... You will see when you get your mag what the staff had to go through to get it... *with severe begging and pleading, and conference calls to Intel's Head Office*

Don't you mean, Intel, rather then, Microsoft?
