Question 1: You guys headed to it?
Question 2: Will you post pics of Boothbabes? ![]() lol, I was hoping you guys were heading down, or up, to the show so we could get the skinny on all the cool stuff in computing. I know G4 is gonna be covering it this week on their channel, but some stuff from you guys would be awesome. I am real interested in knowing if Nvidia will be showing off that 9600 GT. |

The new 9800 looks very trashy.
http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTQzOSwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA I hope they scrap that GX2 crap, it didn't work with the 7950 and it ain't gonna work now. Edited by syn - 04 Jan 2008 at 11:38pm |

That 9800 GTX2 card has to be ginormous. In theory, the card sounds really awesome, but I bet the price tag on that sucker is gonna hurt. I am kinda nervous to be getting 8800 cards if they are just phasing them out, like that article eludes. I mean, will they still support the 8800 cards? Read that forum link. Those doods got all kinds of heated at each other. I always find forums fun,lol

just a die shrink of the 8800 gtx put into sli so it's probably going to cost ~$700. It's still going to require an Nvidia chipset so nothing special -.-
should be 8800 GX2 but I guess Nvidia likes to copy what ATI does. there's no reason why Nvidia would drop support for the 8 series when the 5 series from 6 years ago is still supported -.- Edited by skyR - 05 Jan 2008 at 2:13am |

This thing looks awesome
http://gizmodo.com/341413/alienware-curved-monitor-looks-like-its-from-another-planet and there's these LCDs too http://anandtech.com/GalleryImage.aspx?id=141 150" Plasma from Panasonic http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/01/ces-2008-keynot.html there was so much cool stuff at CES this year, not like there isn't every year, but the stuff shown was just amazing. Cell phones are just getting nuts. I saw a phone that has dlp projector tech in it! It was awesome and a great innovation. Comcast had a cool Keynote and will be offering ultra high speed internet service soon! The Asus EEE looked really neat also, for notebook users. |
