Just spotted this bit of Info over at OCWorkbench.

According to our friend who is now in Japan, he saw a Radeon 9800 pros is on sale that and the store states uses the RV360 (Radeon 9800xt) cores. He also saw the card with the core exposed on display, but the staff could not shed light on what this.

Digitalwanderer seems to have taken a vest and sewn a button on it, but Elite Bastards is reporting that the R420 is going to be making it's premiere next week at the Game Developer's Conference.

Just spotted this bit of news over at the TechReport

It's long been known that NVIDIA's nForce3 250Gb chipset for Athlon 64 processors would feature Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit Ethernet, and a hardware firewall, but I can now reveal that these extras will also make their way to the K7 platform in a new nForce2 MCP. Expected in a couple of months, the new MCP's extra storage and networking features should help the nForce2 compete with VIA's KT880 and KT600 chipsets.

Found a couple of CEBIT pictures over at VolariGamers

Just spotted this bit of Info over at TechReport.

We've been in something of a news lull in the lead-up to CeBit. The big European trade show starts today, though, and we're already starting to see bits of news seep out. The folks at MSI have let slip with some info about new motherboards that gives us some idea what to expect from this year's show.

The Dreamcast was a true enthusiast system? it?s a pity Sega stopped making them. But, that doesn?t mean you can?t join in the fun! If you like RPGs, G3D is going to hook you up! We?re giving away a Dreamcast system (used? but hey? beggars can?t be choosers) with two controllers, 3 Memory cards (for all those RPG save games? one of them being a VMU), and the following RPGs: Grandia II, Skies of Arcadia, and Shenmue. We?re also throwing in a copy of NFL Blitz and Virtua Fighter 3tb for times when you want to play a friend.

PenStar Systems have fired off a few questions to Brian Burke and friends at NVIDIA: regarding GDDR-3! Here's a snip.

Last year ATI announced that it was working with memory manufacturers to develop GDDR-3. DDR-2 had already been used in products from both NVIDIA and ATI (GeForce FX 5800 series and the Radeon 9800 Pro 256 MB respectively). The problem with DDR-2 for graphics is that even though it runs at a slightly lower voltage, the first examples ran very, very hot.
