Computex 2008: Day 1 - the festivities begin

MSI

It is nearly unbelievable how much money MSI is spending on exhibits these days. You notice banners evereywhere, even banners hanging next to roads .. everywhere. So my gut feeling was initially: these guys might have a pretty big booth. And for sure, it was huge.

Above the 1 GB GeForce 9600 GT "Zilent" edition. Well, I guess it's silent ? Should be, there's a Zalman cooler slapped on top of the GPU.

Normally MSI isn't the party to respect NDA's, so I expected a little something called GTX 280 to show up there. But that was (sadly?) not the case. But they are being shown behind closed doors everywhere though. Above the 9800 GX2 and below it the 9800 GTX.

A pretty good market for MSI as well is their sales of AMD ATI graphics cards, here we stumble into the 3870 X2 and the 3870 with a single GPU.

Sorry girls, you just can't blame a guy for showing photo's like these. It's in our gene-pool. Seriously, stop blaming what is to be our natural right ;)
