That can't be used as an argument. If you saw my room, you'd think NewEgg outsources to me for their orders. I have hundreds of computer parts in my room that I DO swap out and test. I do this shit all the time. I have 5 test computers in my room that I try various tests on. I have tons of friends who have different PC components that I pester to do tests as well. I have access to all of the new PC gaming equipment, and I do test it frequently. That, combined with reading the reviews online, gives me a massive gaming PC knowledge base. Mr. Rose might know more about CS than me (I'm sure of it) but I highly doubt he's as PC gaming savvy. If he's that damn smart about gaming computers, he wouldn't get on national TV and say the Radeon 9600 Pro is the best videocard of all time. He wouldn't call Athlon XP an AMD XP. He wouldn't say that PC2100 RAM is fine with a Barton core Athlon XP. He may know a lot about it, but he sure makes an ass out of himself on TV by making completely false statements. If he starts bringing out the real info, let him, but so far he's proved to be someone *interested* in PC gaming equipment, not a knowledgeable person about it.
