Toshiba's HD-DVD Player at Intel's Booth
We'll leave you today with a picture of Toshiba's HD-DVD player that was sitting in Intel's booth. The player crashed when we took this picture, but other than that there was nothing particularly interesting to see here.
Expect to see much more coverage of HD-DVD and Blu-ray here tomorrow and on our news partner - DailyTech.

The basic Dell XPS 600 costs over $4000. I'm thinking this will be pretty close to a $10,000 system.bob661 - Friday, January 6, 2006 - link
True indeed but you really won't see much difference in framerates without some insanely high resolution monitor.jvrobert - Friday, January 6, 2006 - link
nonsense.. Try playing F.E.A.R at 1600x1200 with everything turned on on any current video card.bob661 - Friday, January 6, 2006 - link
Forgot about FEAR. I wonder if that game would become CPU limited. I'd like to see some benchies.at80eighty - Friday, January 6, 2006 - link
..and Dell debuted their 30"er - coincidence?MrSmurf - Friday, January 6, 2006 - link
Ironic that Dell would showcase such a computer which is obviously targeted at hardcore PC user but hardcore PC users wouldn't buy a Dell.Deinonych - Friday, January 6, 2006 - link
Not only that, but until they start putting AMD procs in their boxes, they'll never have *any* credibility with gamers. Even then, I don't think their "target market" would consider a pre-built box anyway. Sounds like another still-born idea by a bunch of MBAs that don't know anything about the DIY/gamer set.Pass.

no matter how fast it is...it's fugly as heck.Why do manufacturers put PC users on a level with guys who pimp out their pickups and vans?

while 'fugly' is debateable - to me, the last pic on page 2 - of the rig in flames , is frickin perfect on two levels1) Blazing performance
2) Reminds you that you'll need a fire hydrant handly in case that baby blows up :-)
