Viper was the name of the first TNT card?

"Diamond Viper was actually the name of the first Riva TNT card"

So what was the Diamond Viper VLB based on the Weitek P9000, or it's PCI cousin then? How bout that Viper Pro Video I bought in 94 or so that came with a little note in the box saying "Oh we're still working on drivers" that made it useless for the 8 months I kept it before chucking it and buying an ATI Mach32 and swearing to never buy from Diamond again? What about the Riva128-based Viper V330 that preceded the TNT-based V550?

Maybe I'm just nit picking, but as a fellow tech journalist I'd never make that kind of statement without at least hitting google once to double check. If my editor didn't crucify me, the readers would.

NordicHW first? I don't think so

Everyone seems to turn a blind eye to the fact that NordicHW came in second place in publishing Trinity's pics. The Finns had it 30mins before. I would've thought that at least The Inq would dig a little deeper...

DAAMIT - Good implementation, non-original idea

Remember the MSI Geminium Series? Two 6600 MXMs in SLI installed on a single PCB with two MXM slots, cooled by dinky little Northbridge fans. It was a disappointment that MSI never released the product, but there's evidence that it's still being worked on behind the scenes.

Kudos to DAAMIT if they get this to market at a reasonable price. In the future, I'd like to see a gpu-less PCIe board with multiple MXM slots to support either DAAMIT or NVIDIA MXM modules in Crossfire/SLI. It might even drive the upgrade MXM market into becoming something economical and available.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
