To order your nanowear 3000(tm) garment, please phone 1800-BLACKHOLE, that's 1800-BLACKHOLE! Now selling at a new introductory price of $19.95. Order now and we will overnight your order to you in a small envelope!
Which really brings to the other point.. how advanced (or backward) will the design of this card be based on?
Let's look at the big boys, nVidia and ATi, apart from both corporations having a lower case letter where it doesn't really belong, both companies are pretty much at the leading edge in terms of chip design/driver optimisations.
Which is pretty much why they choose to release close sourced only drivers.
This new company... well, R&D is going to be expensive if you are thinking of making the next Geforce or Radeon, so what are they planning to make?
The S3 Trios of yesterday?
If that's what they are gonna make, what about profit margins? ATi and nVidia are doing so well converting lumps of silicon into gold because their chips are fast. A graphics card by itself is not expensive at all.
Doesn't sound like they are having a very viable business plan to me:(
I'm sure Samsung won't want to cannibalise their own panel business, but if they make some sort of inline attachment that we can connect to existing LCDs to boast their resolution, wow... its gonna be so cool!

It is not just for nerds, it is for audiophiles too!
'Cause we all know the FPS gamer is so knowledgeable about combat tactics. Yessir, and Counterstrike is the best way to simulate urban warfare, peacekeeping, low-intensity conflicts, etc. And they would be like gods if they were in patroling in Iraq right now!
Make the American peacekeepers in iraq jump up and down like bunnies even as they are walking, and we got a mutiny on our hands....
Chinese murder female fetuses, resulting in a ratio of 1.20 male babies to female babies
Yeah! And you American white trash kill fetuses like ants. And not just killing them with medicines and herbs, you must actually use a small pipe to mush them up into bits and suck their remains out!*
Such hatred for human life... America!
*Next time you pick up this girl at the bar and make out with her without protection, remember this! You God-less animal!
In order for the ratio to be so lopsided in China, millions of Chinese must have a brutal attitude towards women
Go fuck yourself.
The only reason why this happens is because of the one child policy, and it is not as widespread as you think.
Only more common in the "proles" if you may, of the Chinese population, because sons always carry on the family name, and hence are more desired offsprings to have, in view that they can only have one.
But it ain't as bad as you think, in the major cities where people do know better, they still have girls all the same.
"And suppose we acheived peace and convinced the whole world to disarm, who would protect us from other worlds? Just because we have not found other worlds capable of posing a threat does not mean there aren't any. I for one welcome our robot overlords."
It is not like our puny M16 rifles and bazooka launchers are gonna do us any good then.
To guard against that possibly, please refer here for some reference starship designs!
Anyone else notice that SLI has gone from 16 and 8 PCIE channels to 8 and 8? Also, the chipset only appears to support 20 channels total, so my hope for a 16 and 16 specialist board looks fairly unlikely.
This happens because most of today's graphics cards can barely saturate the bandwidth of 8 lanes, let alone 16.
Taking the example of AGP, so we do have AGP 8X interfaces, but how many AGP 8X cards do you see? Not many. Just because this new gee zee PCI-e interface is available doesn't mean the graphics card industry will magically find a way to use up all that bandwidth. It still takes a couple generations before they can catch up.
"nVidia has proven themselves as a strong player in the mobo chipset market, however the SoundStorm omission costs them dearly IMO."
It's inclusion costs them even more dearly in terms of tangible dollars. According to some guy at 2cpu.com, each chipset with SoundStorm = almost $30 of licensing fees paid to Dolby Corporation.
Not very cheap considering the whole mobo sells for peanuts nowadays!
550 watts ! Kewl - this really will be able to make my coffee and bake my pizza too then. I need never leave the screen.
I don't believe it.
Currently on 550 watts, what have I got running?
Dual procs, 3 CDRW drives, 2 DVDR drives, 5 sata drives on raid-5, and an ATI 9800 Pro to tank. Sure, it is not one of those new fancy boy SLI cards, but are they trying to tell me ONE freaking graphics card can consume as much power as 1 Opteron CPU, 4 hard disks, and 4 optical drives?
I'm no maths major but I sure can do some simultanous equations, and.. it ain't computing.
Besides I'd bet on my 550W PSU I still got room to spare!
Actually you can get SATA RAID 5 support on Intel platforms. I'm talking dual proc mobos here, not the consumer crap.
Speaking of dual, I did read the FA and there is no mention of any upcoming dual proc boards using the nforce4 for the opteron.
The opteron is a great chip, great everything. But when you want to get a motherboard for it, it seems like brands like Tyan is the only bet.
Currently I am running my setup on a Arima HDAMB board. Arima, never heard of them huh? Same with me, but it is like the only board I could get when I built my rig, and looking at manufacturers like Asus, it seems like the Opteron doesn't even exist!
I guess AMD will still face quite a bit of trouble entering into the market in the foreseeable future, with most mobo makers still fearful of pissing off Intel Corporation.
But of course, at the rate they are screwing up, with their latest PrescHOT and 64 bit copy cat and the recent announcement that clock speed isn't everything... well, I just wish they keep it that way. So that in the years to come Intel won't be a corporation anymore
"Sigh...I wish Apple would release the newton in the form factor of a palm...I'd buy it no matter what the cost."
How does 100 billion dollars sound like to you? Plus you get the added bonus of having your unit HAND ASSEMBLED chip by chip by the top geek non other than STEVE JOBS and then autographed!:D
Did they honestly think their private details werent going to be posted up on the internet?
Erm, yes? Why do you think Indymedia servers were confiscated? Wasn't it because someone posted the details of a few Congressmen there?
However you feel on the subject of copyright law, the law still stands and it should be respected UNTIL CHANGED.
Do you drink? If you do, well you should be happy that during the days of the prohibition, people actively broke the law! Perhaps our great grand kids will be thankful one day that we choose to fight for our rights today.

What if some of the US soldiers like men?
If bush wins the election, you will see this case quietly vanish into the ether..
if kerry wins the election... oh wait...

And it is open source!
Would HD-DVD be compatible with our current DVD standard?
:(
I wonder if they would have more DRM on these new DVDs too

I load Apple Lossless files into my iPod, big deal. 60GB will be gone in a wink
is the user's error of voting for the "wrong" candidate.
That's why they produced the Diebold eVoting 1000 machine!
Automatically guesses when to correct votes too!
In seriousness, why don't they just put the canidates faces on the ballot? Or graphic representations of thereof?
It is because then we would see 2 weasels on screen, they would be indistinguishable from each other.
If Futurama is any indication of our future...
Linda: [on TV] The sheer drama of this election has driven voter turnout to it's highest level in centuries -- 6%
Morbo: [on TV] Exit polls show evil underdog Richard Nixon trailing with an estimated zero votes.
Leela: Yes! The system works!
Linda: [on TV] The time is 7:59 and the robot polls are now opening...and the robot vote is in. Nixon has won!
Leela: No!
Fry: What?
Bender: Get out of town!

Hey, look on the bright side! At least the Sun doesn't supernova so soon now, with all the junk we are chucking in!
Why the hell would I want to run a lousy OS like Windows on a $3000 computer when a elcheapo one would do just fine?!
Grrr, that's the most moronic questions ever! It is just like asking if you would vote for George Bush if John Kerry were the one who bombed iraq!
