As we reported this morning, Microsoft today announced pricing and the release schedule for the Zune HD, the next version of the company's portable media player. Prior to that announcement, yesterday afternoon, we spent time checking out the device at the Zune offices in Redmond.
Here's Brian Seitz from the Zune team giving an extended demonstration of the Zune HD, including a quick look at its minimalistic web browser, which offers a search field powered by Microsoft Bing. The key question is whether the revamped Zune will be enough to give Microsoft any real traction against the iPod.
Avoid overspending on NVIDIA's 40 series GPUs, and purchase the powerful PNY GeForce RTX 3080 10GB Graphics Card at its lowest price ever!

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.
Dang, that screen looks sexy.
I.....Want it.
Sexy indeed. The only other device where the UI pleases, that is not the iPhone.
I want mine now, I did notice no games but maybe it will come with the final release or if anyone has any info let me know please. Also I wonder how the audio-books will be organized. I guess I will find out in due time.
