    EDIT:
    I am working just now so not that much time to answer.
    I was wrong about thinking that games used the higher resolutions to increase details etc. But what was found instead was that AMD in fact is a very good game processor. It isn't as good as intel on single threaded applications. Core 2 will be the best processor for those applications next year I think. Maybe 2010 it will be beaten in that area. Other processors can win if there is some special management like memory speed or something else that is needed.
    BUT, even if Intel is better at single threaded applications games can be executed easily with processors done for threading. it isn't a problem.
    The problem starts when games start to scale, not that much scaling and it isn't a problem but with more scaling it will soon be a problem. And the biggest problem is when the game needs to work hard (at the low fps areas).
