Linux lives in this house, but (at the moment) only on boxes that brother william plays with. Because a lot of my home computer time is spent gaming, I have avoided it until now. Obviously, that is going to change.
And you're preaching to the choir on hardware specs - the only Intel box I've bought in recent years was my Toshiba laptop, which is 4+ years old. I like it, but it doesn't get used for gaming (it's the machine that has gone to Japan with me, twice). All of the desktop systems around here are various flavors of AMD; one of them is really old but still functional (IBM Aptiva with a K6 in it - it's our print server).
And I wouldn't take an ATI card if you gifted me with it (not for a gaming machine anyway). nVidia all the way...
