    What you're talking about is Alienware's proprietary "SLI" technology, that works even if you're using two different brands of video cards.

    What nVidia is talking about is SLI in the Voodoo2 sense.

    AGP was a stop-gap solution when computer makers realized that the PCI 2.0 bus didn't have the bandwidth required for graphics heavy applications.

    AGP has always had a limited shelf life, and now it's finally coming to pass. AGP will still be the primary stepping stone for a lot of people though, and will eventually be "budget class" only.

    You're also forgetting that they have outstanding stock that investors and employees hold, which become part of the market cap when the IPO is complete, IIRC.

    They plan to open up 24.6M shares at $108-135, but employees and investors also hold stock.

  17. Re:Mozilla turning into "Carbon Copy" of IE on Mozilla Developers Respond to Malware · · Score: 1

    You can change Firefox's default window icon to any icon you want, by following these steps:

    1. Go to the folder you installed Firefox in (e.g. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and then go to the subfolder chrome.
    2. While in chrome, create a new subfolder called icons, then go to that folder and create yet another subfolder called default. The full path to this folder could be C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome\icons\default\.
    3. Choose the icon you want to use (on Windows use .ico files, on Linux use .xpm files) and then place it in this folder and rename it to main-window.[ext], e.g. main-window.ico on Windows and main-window.xpm on Linux.
