CeBIT, in Hanover, Germany, is the world’s largest computer exhibition. This year the show ran from 15th to 21st March and, although both visitor and exhibitor numbers seemed down on last year (roughly 400,000 and 6,000 respectively), there was still plenty to see and do.
Although compared to previous years there were fewer new and innovative products to be found (iPod rip-offs, digital photo frames and water cooling systems were all there in abundance) we still managed get a heads-up on some of the newest and coolest kit that’s likely to hit the UK this year.

So it is no surprise that these two companies held a private overclocking event on Friday December 15, 2006 to push the Kentsfield and the AW9D-Max to the extreme with the help of some of the biggest names in overclocking. So what happens when you get a retail Kentsfield, an AW9-D Max (modded hipro5 from Xtreme Systems style), a three stage cascade system, and a big container of ln2 (liquid Nitrogen) in a room alone with Charles “Fugger” and Don “Philly-boy” from Xtremesystems? Driver Heaven has the answer.

Back in 1996, a new company known as 3dfx changed the world when it introduced the Voodoo1 Graphics chip, one of the first add-in hardware graphics accelerators for the personal computer. Graphics on the PC would never be the same, as the dedicated graphics processor gave developers their first real 3d rendering tools, and gave birth to modern rendering techniques that all of us now take for granted.

Dave Orton kicked things off with an overview of the whole concept, and he put forward quite a realistic outlook on what it can and can not do. Far from being the best thing for every task out there, Orton started out saying how it may or may not apply to your workload. If the problem you have will map to a GPU, you can see speedups from 10x to 40x, a massive increase. Doing the same math purely on a CPU would take a very expensive computer.

Following up from my prior article on Computex, on the last day of Computex we had considerable time with Nvidia and met with their vice president Roy Taylor as well as engineers and head of PR Derek Perez.
Nvidia had a public stand in one of the main halls of Computex with many products on display however they invited us to their private function room and we sat with their vice president for a very indepth discussion and I had the pleasure of being personally escorted by several of their chief engineers and technicians for a look at some of their forthcoming products. Some aspects of this im not at liberty yet to discuss but I can show many of the products they had on display in their function room.

For the last few days we have been for the most part involved in meetings with many companies so it was only this afternoon I had a chance to travel around the various booths to chat with other company executives and to oogle the lovely asian ladies. Many of the booths will not hold much of an interest to our readership but there are some that will certainly get the tech juices flowing.

Valve Software, headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, extended a gracious invitation to attend their demonstration of HDR (High-Dynamic Range) lightning, as it matriculates into the Source gaming engine.
The event was titled Lost Coast Day/HDR Day and was held at the Valve Software office in Bellevue. Invitations were extended to several major computer enthusiast sites, along with Dr. Paul E. Debevec, who is the Executive Producer for Graphics Research at the University of Southern California, at the Institute for Creative Technologies. Dr. Debevec wrote a paper entitled Recovering High Dynamic Range Radiance Maps from Photographs which was presented at SIGGRAPH 97, and is generally now known as the “father” of High-Dynamic Range. He continues to work quite closely with Valve as they collaborate to produce even better, more realistic lightning effects in computer gaming.

Recently DriverHeaven was invited to meet with Abit at the Venetian in Las Vegas. Several motherboard manufacturers were holding a meeting there to show off their new products and meet with customers. This event coincided with Comdex, so through some last minute maneuvering, we secured interviews with ATi and ASUS as well as an entrance pass to Comdex courtesy of ATi. One plane ticket and a short flight later, I touched down in Las Vegas.

Could you handle 24 plus straight hours of gaming with about 500 hardcore gamers like yourself? If so then this past October 4 and 5 in Louisville Ky you would have been in heaven so to speak. I recently attended LanWar20 and have to say if you ever get the opportunity to go to one the events then do not miss the chance. The LanWar was put on by the same core group that brought us the Million Man Lan2 this past year. As always it was a great time to be had and allowed me the opportunity to meet some of todays latest and greatest companies in todays computer industry.
