Each year the biggest information technology exhibit in the world takes place about 400 kilometer from my residence. Over 8600 placeholders, 28 buildings and more than one million people go to this technology exhibit. A great place to take some snapshots of the latest in hardware technology and to talk to the people who you normally will never meet and only know from e-mail or a phone call.

This year I had one day time to visit the most important (for this site) companies, so as you can imagine it was quite a busy day. I have compiled a pictorial of over 75 images for you, if you have a modem dialup, you better be prepared for some serious long loading pages since all pages will be about 100kb or larger in size.

The article will definitely be a lust for the eye if you are a videocard fanatic as I have taken way too many pictures of videocards, stands and an occasional booth babe ;)

While visiting the CeBIT I had made appointments with NVIDIA, ATI, Hercules and VideoLogic. I will discuss those companies and their upcoming products in this article after which the article will become a huge pictorial.

*update* - I've had some questions why we did not visit ELSA, I did not have time for them anymore and they where located in a hall far away from the others.

Have fun, I know I did. First stop, Hercules.
