Thx to irfan @ neogaf
 
and there i thought that most computer parts got smaller as they got advanced
 
Most of that posting is bashing on Nvidia, didn't expect that.

And well it is true, more advanced means smaller, means you can put more of those smaller things together to make bigger things lol
 
That makes me want it. Oh how I hate and love tech lol

PS. What kind of case and motherboard is that, I love how the videocard is up and down.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
