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."
... They use some kind of retarded 1394 header pinout on their GV-3D1 kit mobo, instead of the ICH5 pinout that pretty much everyone else uses.. Including Antec... So now I'm stuck carving up the front panel firewire jumper block or snipping the block off and pinning out a whole new set of jumpers..
Because of this, and the fact that Gigabyte doesn't include at least an ICH5 adapter in the box, they are on my shit list.

Not using apostrophes for posesives is bad. Using apostrophes for plurals is also bad. Actually, abreviations, such as GPU, used to be pluralized with "'s", but this is no longer the preferred way. Go ahead and mod me off-topic if you like, but these errors really make it hard to understand the content.
