EVGA Shows off NVIDIA's 790i and GeForce 9800 GX2
While the embargo hasn't lifted on NVIDIA's 790i chipset or the GeForce 9800 GX2, EVGA is showing both off at this year's CeBIT:
The 790i motherboard with a single 9800 GX2 graphics card
See anything special about the memory? That's the 790i's defining characteristic
OCZ also had a 790i system on display
DDR3-2000 running at 9-8-8-8 with OCZ's memory
The 9800 GX2 itself is NVIDIA's dual-GPU answer to AMD's Radeon HD 3870 X2:
Both of these are GX2 cards, the one on the right shows off EVGA's new water-cooling solution

I am curious if Intel is going to have any more DDR2 solutions on the horizon. To be perfeclty honest, I have not been impressed with ddr3 yet. Higher latancy for higher speeds plus extravagant costs.If the price stays similiar or only fluxuates a little in the ddr3 catagory I can see alot of people sticking to ddr2 (provided it remains at such low costs)
Now ... if they could get ddr3 running at cas 2-2-2 hmm... yes Im pretty sure that would turn some heads. Anyway If Intel stick to a exclusive move to ddr3 based systems only I can't see myself jumping on that bandwagon anytime soon.

Wah, I want to go.As for these "hybrid" SLI's, with a performance increase like that on page 2 we should see 8800GTX's with a hefty 1-2% increase in performance with that bad boy :wink wink:. Well stated as not for the [hardcore] gamer.

I would like to point out that the X300 has been available for purchase from lenovo since last Wednesday (2/27). Still a bit too much $$$ for me though :(crimson117 - Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - link

They probably broke the link on purpose to see how many of us would go looking for the picture. :)Bladen - Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - link
