? Story
-Some lingo jokes including:
If you mentioned now you had a blackberry in your pocket people will assume you are somebody
that loves their e-mails and correspondance. In the 90s, if you said you had a blackberry in your
pocket a person would say:
"I have a blackberry in my pocket."
"Right... does it taste good?"

-new G92 GPUs from nVidia (http://www.xbitlabs.com/discussion/3953.html)
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////g92/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
1. By Q4 2007 (Xmas) NVIDIA will be releasing their GeForce 9800 series GPUs.
Unlike previously expected the codename for nVidia's next generation GPU will NOT be "G90" but instead be "G92".
I have some info form NVIDIA insider about the upcoming G92 graphics processors.
G92 will be released in November 2007 timeframe in the form of "GeForce 9800" series.
"G92" GeForce 9800 GTX specs.
- 65nm process technology at TSMC.
- Over one billion transistors.
- Second Generation Unified Shader Architecture.
- Double precsion support (FP64).
- GPGPU native.
- Over one TeraFLOPS of shader processing power.
- MADD+ADD configuration for the shader untis (2+1 FLOPS=3 FLOPS per ALU)
- Fully Scalar design.
- 512-bit memory interface.
- 1024MB GDDR4 graphics memory.
- DirectX 10.1 support.
- OpenGL 3.0 Support.
- eDRAM die for "FREE 4xAA".
- built in Audio Chip.
- built in tesselation unit (in the graphics core"
- Improved AA and AF quality levels
Pros.
65nm process will allow for better yields and better power consumption. power consumption will be lower than that of a GeForce 8800 GTX.
GeForce 9800 GTX will be over two times faster than a GeForce 8800 Ultra in real world games and applcations.
Release date : November 2007. There will be TWO products at launch: The flagship GeForce 9800 GTX and the second fastest GeForce 9800 GTS.
price for the GeForce 9800 GTX will be 549-649 USD.

Intro Lines:
Welcome to Nostalgia Gaming Podcast number 2. This is Mark and Don is here with me. We've got a great show lined up for you tonight;
actually a lot of stuff had to get cut off for this show to make the 1 hour marker, but no worries, we'll include a lot of this stuff in next weeks show.
We've got some game reviews coming out as well as some reminiscing about lingo that today is accepted but in the 90s?.... We've got graphics
terms explained as well as how directx 10 benefits you and how you can get the most bang for your buck on this year's graphics card line up.
We've got an interview with with a guy that started his own game development team. He's in it for the fun, but we'll ask him a few questions later on.
Also, as if that weren't all enough, we've got a portuguese co-host signing on for the first time. I'd like you to meet ________. As you can see
or rather hear, he speaks perfect English, probably better than mine. He will be talking about a more international perspective on gaming and how he
views the industry is taking off in western Europe.
