Nvidia's $1,000 Video Card SLI Solution
06/28/2004 09:55 AM
Hello, Future. I
believe we've met before, in the past. nVidia has announced SLI for
the GeForce 6800 series of PCI Express video cards. What does that
mean for you, the already broke-ass gamer? Well, if you buy one of the
new, expensive Intel motherboards with the Tumwater chipset, you can
connect two of Nvidia's top-end, $500 video cards together via a
"Scalable Link Interface" MIO port, harnessing the power of both cards
simultaneously to render game graphics. It won't be twice as fast; the
received wisdom is around 50 percent faster than a single card,
although Nvidia is claiming up to 90 percent faster frame rates in
some situations.
Although it might be easy to brush off SLI as a toy for rich gamers
who can drop $5,000 on a gaming rig without a second thought (and
you'd be right, at the moment), in the near future the SLI will offer
a handy way to boost the performance of your existing card -- just
toss another one in there and go. Unfortunately, if history is any
reference, by the time a second 6800 becomes affordable, buying a
whole new, next-generation video card is probably a better option.
No word if this is the same technology that Alienware was touting
around E3. It would certainly make more sense if it were, as Alienware
isn't exactly known for pioneering cutting edge video hardware
solutions. Looking at the pictures of Alienware's solution, the
interconnects do look different, so maybe they figured out some magic
of their own after all.

While we’re on the topic of Panasonic, I’ll
also mention two other new home theater products from the
company.
The “SC-HT06” is a 2.1ch audio system with Dolby Virtual Speaker
(DVS) technology. This is to fool you into thinking you have a real
surround sound setup. The amplifier is provides a total 300W of
output, and has three digital inputs: two optical and one coaxial.
“Dual Amp” technology is the focus of the “SA-XR55” amplifier,
meaning you can provide twice the amount of power to your speakers. It
has features out the wazoo: 7.1ch audio, 192kHz sampling all the way
from input to output, and improvement of mid-range tones using “VGDA”
(Variable Gain Digital Amplifier). You’ll probably find a crapload of
things to like about the SA-XR55, assuming you can afford the 55,000
yen price tag.

JVC TH-SW5 Home Theater System with
Wireless Rears

JVC has a new
set of home theater systems out in Japan that transmit sound to the
read speakers wireless via radio; a radio that, unfortunately,
broadcasts on the 2.4GHz spectrum -- the same frequency as Wi-Fi. The
TH-SW5 otherwise looks like a solid system, but perhaps another model
at 5GHz or 900MHz would be optimal. Or maybe -- stay with me --
user selectable frequency. There aren't plans to release it
here, though, to my knowledge, but I'd hate to be the Japanese
consumer who has to choose between their network and their
speakers.
My dream wireless speakers receive audio and power through a
fixed microwave beam. If you couldn't navigate through the matrix of
flesh-searing invisible conduits, you wouldn't be worthy to
watch the extended edition of Groundhog Day.

Theater PC
08/30/2004 08:08 AM
Hush Technologies has announced a new version of
their fanless home entertainment computer, this time called the ATX
MCE (for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005). Besides the
addition of the new OS, it doesn't look as if it's terribly different
from any of the older ATX versions, all of which were pretty nice to
begin with, with up to 400GB of on-board storage, some flavor of
Radeon, TV Tuner, 6 channel audio, and WiFi and Bluetooth options.
They're nice looking boxes, too, ready-made to fit right in with the
rest of your AV equipment.
Hush hasn't made the announcement on their site yet (which just
always boggles me; why send out a release to websites if you aren't
driving traffic back to your home page?), but you can take a look at
the existing models. They're basically the same, hardware-wise.

video image, sound quality, room acoustics, and RF distribution are as
much a part of the home theater environment as the electronic
components themselves. Plus, you’ll receive extensive hands on
