Four GPU Motherboard

didde writes "The people over at Tom's Hardware are running a story on Gigabytes experiments with quadruple GPU's on one motherboard. Perhaps we'll need something cooler than liquid metal to keep this beast from running hot?" From the article: "About half a year ago, we learned that Gigabyte was working on a graphics card that integrates two GeForce 6600GT graphics chips. While we were impressed with the out-of-the-box approach from Gigabyte, there was of course the question, whether two of those cards could be combined for a total of four graphics chips."

    Gigabyte has stated they will throw in a free Nuclear Power Plant to help pay for power consumption when you buy one of their 4-card chipsets.

    Can you imagine a game with the visuals of the Shrek series?

    How many graphics cards do I need not to see that though?

    Never used one of those new 24" Widescreen Dell LCD's have you? 12ms response time, 1920x1200 resolution, and all the pixels really exist...

    Yeah, but after buying one on of those, you can't afford a quad-GPU system.

    Or games.

    Or food.
