[news 28]

Hello All,

 

We thought we'd wrap these three up neat and tidy for you in one shot. We

have a highlight reel of sorts of CES happenings that we're sure you'll

enjoy.

 

Asus Extreme Design Contest Winner: Interview with Charles Wang:

For this contest Asus was looking to stir buzz and interest in the

enthusiast do-it-yourself community for their new line of P7P55 Xtreme

design series motherboards and of course they were looking to unload some

pretty high-end gear on some very lucky people in exchange for that buzz.

Asus reached out to HotHardware's community members and asked what they

would do with the Xtreme Design features on ASUS motherboards. They also

asked what kind of Xtreme Design computer build they would put together if

Asus supplied parts from sponsor partners: INTEL, NVIDIA, ANTEC, G.SKILL,

RAZER, SAMSUNG.

 

NVIDIA Demos 3D Surround Gaming On GF100:

The NVIDIA booth was home to a mezmerizing setup that consisted of three

projectors displaying a racing simulation across a single wide screen. The

system consisted of two, soon to be released GF100 cards in SLI. We were

told that one graphics card powered one of the projectors while the other

GF100 powered the other two displays. That leads us to believe that

NVIDIA's Surround technology requires more than one GPU, but we'll see if

that's the case at launch.

Dell was pre-announcing this machine that is soon to be released and for us

at least, it was a proverbial show-stopper. The M11x is built on an

11.6-inch LCD form-factor and from what we could tell, it's svelte,

well-built, super stylish and rugged. You can think of it as a mini

version of the M15x or M17x series but we think it's just darling either

way you look at it.

 

That ought to hold you for a while. Thanks for your time and for stopping

by!
