I will never buy a console like a Playstation 3... Because I like a mouse and keyboard, and I can lan on! Even if the PlayStation3 has two X850XTPE's running in SLI mode........

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=20034Nvidia's NV50 canned
New things to come
WE ARE told that Nvidia's next gen chip NV50 has been canned as well as the NV48 chip we reported on earlier in the week. I guess both were not fitting well into Nvidia's picture.
We don’t have any idea as yet what lead to such a decision, but Nvidia does apparently think it's now time to make its next breakthrough chip.
All we know is that Nvidia made a huge u-turn or a right turn in its roadmap as Intel describes it, and we don’t yet know where that leads.
We also know that Nvidia is very dedicated to win the graphic fight and to move away from the deadly embrace with ATI. In the current generation, it's not important what you get as both Nvidia and ATI cards are performing almost identically.
Nvidia still strongly believes that SLI is something that will become very important in the future.
seems Nvidia has lost hope....Rayne wrote:nVidia update:

Only problem is selling the house
Anyone looking for a 3million rand house?
Who said they wanted to buy a X800 or 6800 AGP, btw the X800's are being made in PCI-E, and the X850 range is all PCI-E now! So is the X800XL...Why on earth do you want to upgrade to a X800 or a 6800 agp....... Wait and buy a new pc with pci express and a 64bit cpu!
ATI X850XT PE to arrive before Yule
In limited quantities
SOME SMALL quantities of R480, Radeon X850XT PE will hit the market before the end of this year - even before Yule, just.
We got confirmation that some of the ATI partners will be able to get a few cards out in week 52. They will ship it just a few days before the end of the Yule shopping fever season. If you are lucky enough, you might get your X850XT PE card this year.
Serious quantities are slated for January, of course, but it would be a good change to see ATI shipping some quantities of its high end cards close to its launch. The unwritten rule is to have the cards in retail, e-tail one month after presentation, but we haven’t seen much of that that happening in 2004.
Beware - these cards Estimated Retail Price is $549. With the new USA IT mathematics, that ends up as at least €550 . I have to remind you that $550 is €416 at current exchange rates.
Let's see can whether the promise is fulfilled, or whether those avid for this technology curse Santa Claus when he brings them a tangerine and some choccies instead.
