Sapphire's single-slot Radeon HD 3870
Unique cooling solutions were all over the show, including Sapphire's single-slot Radeon HD 3870:
Cooled using a technique similar to that used by heatpipes, Sapphire's Vapor-X heatsink allows for a slimmer-than single-slot design to be implemented on the Radeon HD 3870. With such a low profile cooler, sticking four of these on a motherboard is possible.
Sapphire also had a passively cooled Radeon HD 3870 on display:

I am curious if Intel is going to have any more DDR2 solutions on the horizon. To be perfeclty honest, I have not been impressed with ddr3 yet. Higher latancy for higher speeds plus extravagant costs.If the price stays similiar or only fluxuates a little in the ddr3 catagory I can see alot of people sticking to ddr2 (provided it remains at such low costs)
Now ... if they could get ddr3 running at cas 2-2-2 hmm... yes Im pretty sure that would turn some heads. Anyway If Intel stick to a exclusive move to ddr3 based systems only I can't see myself jumping on that bandwagon anytime soon.

Wah, I want to go.As for these "hybrid" SLI's, with a performance increase like that on page 2 we should see 8800GTX's with a hefty 1-2% increase in performance with that bad boy :wink wink:. Well stated as not for the [hardcore] gamer.

I would like to point out that the X300 has been available for purchase from lenovo since last Wednesday (2/27). Still a bit too much $$$ for me though :(crimson117 - Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - link

They probably broke the link on purpose to see how many of us would go looking for the picture. :)Bladen - Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - link
