HIS
The other graphics companies might be working on some neat projects, but ATI powerhouse HIS has a few tricks up their sleeve too. Aside from the working RD480 ( Xpress 200 Crossfire) demonstrations, HIS was very proud to announce their next generation ICEQ coolers. The redesigned fan cooler was able to drop heat sink temperatures from 75 degrees Celsius to 58 degrees Celsius in the working demo at the show; but HIS product managers emphasized that this was a best case and that temperatures during 3D rendering usually dropped about 11 degrees on average.Below, you can see that the new ICEQ system pulls air in from the case and draws it over the entire heat sink.

Windows has had software RAID 5 for years, too...ProviaFan - Thursday, June 2, 2005 - link
Which brings to mind that I seem to recall the Server editions of Windows being able to do software RAID as well...bersl2 - Thursday, June 2, 2005 - link
Um... I think some fact checking needs to be done about this statement:"While BSD operating systems have enjoyed Raid 5 software RAID via the OS for years, Linux and Windows have not been as fortunate."
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-0.4x-HOWTO...
This old document puts RAID 5 in the kernel, in a working, if not feature-complete, form in 1997 (2.1.63).
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-1.ht...
This more recent version of the HOWTO places an updated version of RAID at no later than Jan. 2001 (2.4.0---and that's not counting it being in any development series kernels).

Yeah, I wonder where all these high-res displays are that Longhorn is supposedly going to support...Thanks anyway for the comprehensive coverage!

Nice coverage. Wonder what´s wrong with the LCD guys though.
