10,000 visitors, more than a thousand gathered at the Center for
Performing Arts to witness the ending of the event. The duo behind the
popular Mythbusters showed the results of six months of work,
demonstrating the difference between a CPU and a GPU, following the
conventional wisdom of parallel computing.

case with no panels at all. Thats exactly what Antec is doing with
their upcoming Skeleton case. Resembling a rounded pyramid, the case

Digital videographers know the pain and drudgery of
rendering video. Even on the fastest processors, rendering high
definition H.264 footage can take minutes, even hours, but an upcoming

that needs to be done because in a demonstration at the NVISION
conference in San Jose, Badaboom and the upcoming…

Its all in the name of fun and friendly competition and Fugger, the
owner of xtremesystems.org, showed off his three-stage cooler that chills CPUs to minus 100 degrees
thats Celsius, not Fahrenheit.

Believe it or not, NVISION 08 is not just about Nvidia. Earlier today
we met with Gigabyte to see what we can expect from the Taiwanese
manufacturer and got a glimpse at an upcoming motherboard for Intels
Core i7 processors with Nehalem core. The board, called Extreme
Edition, sets several highlights, including the ability to transform
your PC in a true deskside supercomputer that offers the processing
horsepower of thousands of processors ten years ago.
