You should check your own X2 v GTX280 poll thread where approx 50% of respondents said they will buy the X2 as opposed to only 15% for the GTX280 (even with price cuts).
Like I said, that poll is far from scientific. If you cant tell by the posts over the last month, id say a far majority on this site are extremely bias towards ATi. They arent just happy to have competition, they actually dont like NV...some of the comments you would only expect to find on some AMD fan site. (An example is the F*** Nvidia post a few posts up)
I think it has to do with "going against the man", kind of like all the college kids with thier Mac's.....
very true...I wasn't around here then, but I suspect that many people were happy to ditch their x1950xtx for an 8800gtx just to give the "other team" a chance again... in 6 months, a year, 18 mos, whatever time frame it is, nvidia will reclaim the performance crown and we'll be flooded by nvidia fan-boy posts saying things like "good job rollo for carrying the torch during our darkest hour" and maybe a few astute observers opining that "chizow really didn't help us much during ati's dominance, did he". Many of the nvidia fans will be ditching their 48x0 gpus for the latest and greatest, too, and there will be nothing wrong with that. If I was an amd fanboy I would have kept my head in the sand for the last 18 mos, so we really can't blame them for coming out now that their sun has risen again.
