Why not create a nice p2p client for the usenet? Everyone hosts a bit of it, maybe even their favorite parts. It could run in the background a la freenet, except without the crypto-slowness.
Indeed! The costs most certainly would be much lower, and, so long as RAM speed wasn't an issue, extra graphics cores would clearly be superior. The only possible disadvantage I can think of is that to upgrade your graphics you would have to buy a whole new processor instead of just a card. But thats not an issue considering that these days CPU's and graphics cards are about the same price. It would be a real coup for Intel/AMD to take over the enthusiast graphics market.
We already do this; integrated graphics use a 'seperate core', indeed they use a seperate chip. What would be the advantage if we put these integrated graphics cores with the cpu?
In part, seperate cards are fast because they have dedicated RAM that's always one generation ahead of system RAM. Somehow this is the currently preferred choice even though that dedicated RAM is wasted when not engaging in gibberific blood-splashery.
If the current market doesn't sell good 'graphics' MoBos, why would Intel/AMD bundle graphics in their cpus?

The title is 'Gigabyte creates dual-GPU graphics card'
How is that misleading? Nothing about the article even hints that this is the first dual-GPU card.
