Will games truly adapt to multi-core processing

As games develop and become increasing complex it becomes questionable whether or not gaming developers will finally leap on the bandwagon to adopt multi-processor support. Already we have dual core processor as well as quad core processors. Soon this will increase. To make games far more intriguing than they presently are gaming developers must code for multi-core processors. Tackling the SLI and crossfire mountains was no doubt a difficult trek but when you climb one mountain there are others to be climbed. Just my personal opinion.

Why I personally believe IBM should buy AMD/ATI

AMD ruled the CPU war for a while before Intel became wise and outgunned and outspent AMD to become the victor of the CPU wars. With Intel outspending AMD on research and development AMD is hoping to make a comeback at the end of the year. Even with that I believe AMD will fall behind again when Intel delivers their next generation CPU. What is a company like AMD to do? My gut feeling is that AMD needs an infusion of money as well as superior engineering. It's my personal opinion and belief that IBM should be the wiser and buy AMD/ATI. They have the engineering expertise that AMD lacks as well as financial clout to bring AMD to the forefront again. It would be a good marraige. IBM would have a great CPU and graphics company under their belt and be ready to tilt the windmill in their favor. This would be a great method to re-enter the personal computer world again. Once again, it's my personal opinion.
