the CPU/GPU comparison to sound cards doesn't quite work because really the tech isn't even a year old. >_>; that's usually been something the motherboard does, motherboard with intergrated video, but what AMD's got... really isn't half bad at all there and can play everything today. you can easily just crossfire it with an actual vid card too in order to make it akin to a top tier card. pretty nice stuff all around what they have there and is definitely a budget builder's need as being able to satisfy a quad core + good vid card + expandability for sub $150 is unreal.
