What would you ask these guys?

First like to say keep up the gd work!!

Can you tell me if and when dual core graphics cards will be put into action?

I know i shouldn't really answer things as it's a question thread but i can't see that ever happening, at least not in the next couple of years or more as ATi tried it once before and it didn't work out, plus it's expensive and the benefits don't out-weigh the costs.

X800 AiW when will it be released? and will it be agp or will it wait for pci express ?

From my understanding both - and it will take the same amount of time as usual....

oops, asked a question about next gen

[zixiazhang]

Might not be the right people to ask but have they got any ideas on OLED monitors?

As far as oled and ati, shouldn't really be here , but afaik oled stuff is still yet to be introduced to mainstream which should be black and white , probably screens for mobile phones/pda's. Then we can see production increase for larger sizes and colour and eventually "could" replaced LCD monitors but can't see that being teh case for some time to come 2/3 years.

Dual cores, unlikely by the sounds of it for next core, gigabyte will no doubt ne the first to the market with one, replacing the 6 dual concept boards with 8 dual(adding dual cpu and dual gpu)

I can't remember who, xgi? or the sis or via gfx cards is supposed to be coming with a dual core at the top end, the single core now with immature drivers can match a 9600pro or so i think, dual core will barely be a 9800 pro beater.

It is something and somewhere ati might go again, SLI cards as were done ages ago, might be workable on a dual pci-e interface.

not questions i know, i'm just bored and rambling.

For ati, errm, i dunno. Not much to ask for current tech, what do you think of btx standards? will you be making cards for btx cases(last time i checked the gpu's were going to be topside of the card?) as soon as they are out?
