Reviews Arrive For nVidia GeForce 6600GT AGP
bhtooefr writes "The Tech Report got their hands on a reference board of the nV 6600GT AGP, and did some benchmarks. Interestingly, even with a slower memory clock on the AGP card, it was FASTER in some benchmarks than the PCI-E card. Tests performed were: Doom 3, CS:Source, Far Cry, 3DMark05, Rome: Total War, and Xpand Rally (the last two tested with FRAPS)."

The following is a compilation of information I have gathered concerning the mysterious planet X, which supposedly is going to make a close pass to Earth at some time in the near future, which according to some, may have devastating consequences for the inhabitants of said planet. It may be a hoax, or it may be for real. You decide...
Planet X, or the 10th planet, may be on an elliptical orbit that will have it pass between our own Sun and Earth. According to Russian scientist Zacharia Sitchin, it could soon fly past Earth, and may cause what some scholars and scientists feel could become a human catastrophe -- on a Biblical scale! Recently, a group of scientists in Russia held several meetings to discuss an inbound planet discovered from one of their largest observatories. The top government officials called for a commission to study the problem, which was said to expect to cause a string of calamities and a massive population shrinkage." They openly wondered whether Russia would still even exist as a country afterwards...
While many American scientists scoff at Sitchin's work, prominent Russian scientists (in consultation with thier government) along with several independent researchers around the globe, are deeply concerned that Planet X could make a close pass to Earth as his work suggests. Such a flyby could result in a terrestrial catastrophe that could very well place mankind in the cross hairs of a major kill off. Can we afford to scoff at this threat any longer? Are there any potential effects of its passing?
It is felt that planet X will pass close by our planet. At the moment of it's passing it is possible that the Earth may be overtaken by its gravitational influence, being a much larger planetary body. Sometimes referred to as the red comet or red star in some ancient texts, or the star "Wormwood" in the Bible, the effects of its passage may range far and wide according to some experts opinions. The Earth may stop rotating completely for 3 days. Electrical/magnetic storms may occur of an intensity that could cause lasting damage to our global infrastructure. As the Earth passes through tail of Planet X's passage, dust and debris may rain down upon our planet compromising our ability to supply food, and most importantly, water.
Planet X is reported to be four times larger, and twenty three times more dense than the Earth. The Bible states (defining it as Wormwood in The Book of Revelation) that when it passes, its magnetic and gravitational effects upon the Earth's molten iron core will cause increased earthquakes/ volcanic eruptions, and other phenomena. Speaking of the last days, it states: "Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter."
I have noticed over the last ten years, as I am sure the readers of this site also have noticed, the drastic change in our present day weather patterns, increased earthquake/ volcanic activity, reports of the gradual slowing of the Earth's rotation and geomagnetic planetary field deviations, and other anomalies. All of which are allegedly due to the energy being released by our planet in response to the gravitational field that is preceding Planet X.
Nasa will continue to identify objects ahead and around X to misdirect attention. The normal helpful & professional Nasa employees are being evasive & condescending when asked about it. How Nasa has chosen to handle their knowledge of Planet X fits into a pattern of concealment X has INTENTIONALLY BEEN MADE TO SOUND RIDICULOUS and confusing for several reasons. One of which is to avoid causing panic amon
