"The board will only be able to carry Pentium processors using the socket 775. Sources told us that Gigabyte is currently testing the 4-GPU board and is likely to enable two configurations. First, the GA-8N-SLI Quad will be able to work with two Gigabyte 3D1 dual-GPU cards and make an additional three PCI Express slots available. The second option is to use single-GPU SLI graphics card in each of the four slots. This translates to a support of either two x16 or four x8 PCI Express slots."

"The GV-3D1-68GT will build on the same architecture based on Nvidia SLI technology, but integrate GeForce 6800 GT graphics chips. Compared to the previous 6600 and 6600GT cards, the newest member of the family will double the integrated GDDR3 memory to 512 MByte. Standard features include two D-SUB and two DVI-I ports for a support of two displays. The card also handles DTV and HDTV encoding with a resolution of up to 1024 x 768 pixels."

Yep I wonder about that shit myself. Just how much can the eye & brain process?
Kinda like sounds. Someone gushes to me. "Why don't you get a better sound system?" Hello I have 2 hearing aids. A 10 buck deal sounds the same to me as a 20 grand one.

It's generally considered bad form to directly link to someone else's pictures.

Steal the pics off their site honestly, host them yourself and link to them.

FWIW, I still see them.

When I'm posting from work I don't always have the time to reroute like that. I' guess I'll have to try harder.
