Lucid Logix HYDRA tech brings together any GPUs for powerful matrimony {Engadget}
Jul 16th 2008 1:54AM Good memory/research skills.
But, looks like it never came to market. Must not have worked out as well as expected. Not surprised seeing as how ndivia and ati are still having a hard time getting sli/crossfire to scale well, despite having spent tons of time and resources on it. cool that they tried it anyway.
I would like to read more about exactly why it never made it, though.
More details on Dell's summer-bound netbook {Engadget}
Jun 5th 2008 12:38PM True, it's upside down relative to the one on my m1210.
NVIDIA to acquire Ageia {Engadget}
Feb 4th 2008 7:23PM It's not like ati can't develop an equivalent fairly easily. Plus, since ATI and nvidia make hardware for the same programs, they'll be really motivated to keep it even and also make sure that there is only one "format", so that developers can use both sets of hardware interchangeably.
How would you change Dell's XPS One? {Engadget}
Jan 27th 2008 1:09PM I agree with your sentiments about a higher powered graphics card, but i just don't see them fitting one of those beasts in there. not to mention being able to cool it. but you're right they should definitely be able to get more power into the thing. A 24 inch version would be nice.
Dell adds new screen resolutions to the XPS m1530 {Engadget}
Jan 9th 2008 10:02AM Inspirons, etc. still suck, the XPS ones are awesome, especially for the price.
EVS23: Ford hands over the plug-in Escape hybrid to SCE {Autoblog Green}
Dec 5th 2007 5:49PM Cute how they matched the electric "plug" and gas cap cover. I wonder how exactly you plug it in.
Steelcase's Walkstation marries desk and treadmill {Engadget}
Oct 19th 2007 11:25AM I've heard of this before. You're not supposed to run, you're supposed to walk. It doesn't interfere with productivity at all. Saw a show where they tested two radiologists, one with this, one without. The one with one of these actually made no mistakes. I think it's a good idea for offices, but not for your living room computer.

Ask Engadget: PC or Mac for back to school? {Engadget}
Aug 30th 2007 1:02PM Gotta agree with you there, unless you really need inter-compatibility.
With decent (obviously not for gaming) PCs around for really cheap nowadays, you may as well get one to use alongside a Macbook. Most people don't really do anything process-intensive with their computers, so two slow computers would work about as good and for cheaper than one fast one.
NVIDIA prepping power-saving Hybrid SLI technology {Engadget}
Jun 25th 2007 10:42PM They do, but of course it would be a lot better if they could just turn off one of the cores altogether. Independent power management is something Intel and AMD are working on for their multi-core processors as well. See http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2992&p=2 for more on that. Also, hybrid SLI is a silly thing to call this. It's just turning on and off SLI as needed to conserve power.
