Totally Off Topic (Systems Survey..)

I am using Steam from Valve (Makers of Half-Life ...)
Anyways they requested myself to take a survey. I only asked what my NET connection was and then they scanned for all the various sundries.. CPU type & speed; OS type; Memory; Video; quantity of porn (somehow this part said 'mask overflow' for some reason)...

The link to the results (still being updated - currently 294,200 respondents) is:

What I found amazing - the AMD & INTEL are as close to 50/50 as you can get. The latest was "147,107" AMD and "147,072" Intel. No domination which I sort of found interesting. (should I be?) Could this be the reason why Intel trimmed their sales for Q1?

I am in the "0.22%" of the survey with the 2GB RAM.

Appears Nvidia leads all video cards shown (for non-other) but for whatever reason the OTHER is like 40%. (perhaps older cards I suspect). ATI still leads the pack on my machine for the only app to constantly GPF under XP Pro.

On a more important manner - I like CPST's recovery yesterday from below $3; plus the fact RRI is over $8.

Cheers all!
