NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI Intel Edition Launched

Spinnerbait writes "NVIDIA took the wraps off their nForce 4 SLI chipset platform for Intel Processors today and there's a full review and showcase with benchmarks up at HotHardware. As with NVIDIA's AMD version of this chipset, motherboards based on the technology will support dual PCI Express graphics cards for load sharing in 3D Gaming applications. What's perhaps even more interesting is how the new NVIDIA memory controller actually allows the platform to out-pace Intel's own i925XE in virtually all of the benchmarks."

EM emissions

[Pants75]

When are these things going to start spitting out microwaves? We're already into TV and FM Radio Band emissions at 200-400Mhz. Microwaves really aren't that far off.

While there are some radar bands from 1,300 to 1,600 MHz, most microwave applications fall in the range 3,000 to 30,000 MHz (3-30 GHz). Current microwave ovens operate at a nominal frequency of 2450 MHz, a band assigned by the FCC.

You'll be glad you kept your old steel PC case when we get this sort of speed out of MBs

With very little punctuation in your post I can definately see that from your definitions you are an nVidia fan!

Humbug!

3D gaming, 3D schaming.
Back in my day we had the Voodoo 2's and the ol' 6mb of ram, 12 if you were rich! Couldn't even get two separate sprites on the screen without extreme lag... but we liked it!

Already has

Seems like we're trending towards multiple everything recently.. multicore CPUs, SLI.. how long before this propagates to everything?

I have even heard about a guy with TWO complete individual PCs...

Physics >> FCC

Current microwave ovens operate at a nominal frequency of 2450 MHz, a band assigned by the FCC.

I think you'll find that the physics of water molecule resonance had something to do with choice of this band.

Funny how every other country in the world chose the same band, despite not being ruled by the FCC ... :)
