but is has an external 350W power supply, I'm so confused?]]>Jan 6th 2009 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/
Hp = junk]]>Jan 6th 2009 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/Let me ask you a question. Who do you think sells the majority of the computers people buy? I'm thinking the list is topped by HP, Dell, Compaq, and Gateway. Wouldn't it (I'm just hypothesizing...) be easy to conclude that those "name brand" computers would be the ones brought in the most? Especially since the people who buy them are going to be A. Your Mom, and B. Your Grandparents, and C. Your sister... and let's not forget D. Uncle John...

That pretty much leaves you, me, and a few other peeps who read Engadget that build their own machines and know how to fix them when our motherboards pop a cap, etc.

Just some fuud for thought...]]>Jan 6th 2009 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/Jan 6th 2009 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/Jan 6th 2009 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/
Hp owns Voodoo

I guess when they say DNA they mean it has the raw power that Voodoo machines have been known to deliver.

though I think @greyscale's answer is the best one, it explains why Mr. Sood takes so long to "come" out with product :)]]>Jan 6th 2009 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/Jan 30th 2009 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/Jan 6th 2009 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/Jan 6th 2009 1:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/
Honestly, I'm pretty sure two 9800S cards in SLI are not going to be more power efficient or much faster than a single card like a 4870 1gb or GTX260 Core 216...]]>Jan 6th 2009 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/
For those with the knee-jerk reaction: Take a look at the market and look for points of differentiation. Then come back and say something intelligent like HP sux! At least you'll have taken a trip. ]]>Jan 6th 2009 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/Jan 6th 2009 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/
But to me personally, the system reinstates older problem I always hated beige PC boxen for: all ports are in arse, I mean on the back of the system. Even card reader. (Or how people say it over here: the ports are in the same place which designers used to think while making the system (answer: ass).)

But for the most people it would be a nice gaming rig anyway.]]>Jan 6th 2009 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/Jan 7th 2009 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/Jan 24th 2009 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/hp-officially-launches-firebird-with-voodoo-dna/
In their defense, it's likely that the mobile versions of these parts just aren't out yet. As a buyer, though, that looming generation shift tells me it's a bad time to take a plunge.]]>Jan 24th 2009 1:58PM
