Question 1: You guys headed to it?

Question 2: Will you post pics of Boothbabes? Tongue

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.

I hope they scrap that GX2 crap, it didn't work with the 7950 and it ain't gonna work now.

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 -.-

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.
