Nvidia announces SLI for Intel's Core 2 Duo processor.

Nvidia today said that it will offer a specially tailored version of its Nforce 500 chipset for Intel"s upcoming Core 2 Duo processors. While the success of the Nforce 4 on Intel was very limited Nvidia takes another shot at the next generation platform to open up the massive Intel business - which is pretty much owned by Intel itself an ATI today. The availability of Nforce 500 series media and communications processors will enable SLI configurations to Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme, which seem to be challenging AMD"s Athlon64 processors for the gaming crown. We expect Nvidia to aim its chipsets at the upper mainstream and high-end of future Intel systems. Nvidia"s clear advantage are features that especially appeal to gamers, such as two dedicated x16 PCI Express slots that are provided by the Nforce 590 MCP today. Intel so far has not announced a chipset that will offer this functionality. Nvidia said that Nforce 500-based motherboards for Intel Core 2 Duo platforms and Geforce 7950 GX2 (dual-GPU) graphics cards will be available in Dell"s XPS 700 gaming system as well as major system builders such as Asus, BFG, Biostar, DFI, ECS, EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI and XFX.

World of Warcraft patch promises to make game less repetitive.
Blizzard today activated the 1.10 patch for World of Warcraft, which promises to make the game less repetitive for veteran players. Also, new content such as better armor sets and realistic weather have been added and several dungeons have been altered to provide more of a challenge to players who have completed them several dozen times in a row. But while the new content may temporarily satiate WoW"s six million plus players, the patch also tries to balance out the game by modifying several classes and significantly altering the player-on-player battlegrounds.
