Seen 2 or 3 16x PCI-E ports on single mobo, how about SEVEN of 'em?

You know, when you opened the case of your PC you could see that there was a single or more 16x PCI-E ports on the mobo (stands for Motherboard). Usually it's only one, two or more advanced, three of them for SLI (nVidia) and CrossFireX (ATi). 

But, a company called EVGA has made a prototype, coded W555, containing SEVEN of 16x PCI-E ports, so many that it didn't left any space for their families and ancestors ('ye old PCI port and smaller sister 1x PCI-E port). That's not only the special thing, it also has two LGA1366 socket to accomodate two Intel Xeon processor that's designed for server, now could be made to fit into a (gaming/workstation) desktop. It's also designed to be overclockable. Even more, it also has 12 DDR3 DIMM socket to accomodate a bunch of memory, maximum amount still unknown.

Of course, accommodating a huge amount of high performance parts in your rig must have made something to be so special that it needs a fan. What? Fan? On the mobo? Yes, a fan specially made for the chipsets that's been hardworking to accomodate these huge amount of power plant. So hot that it needs a fan, just imagine that. Well, I started to think about power consumption though...

Function of this mobo? Well, when viewed form the amount of processor sockets it had, it must be some kind of a workstation/server. But, when viewed from the potential amount of GPU installed, it doesn't make sense and only one type of person who could used it (depends on his budget).

It's the Folding Team. Though, I can't explain long about it in this topic, but indeed, it's a club or team that uses their rig (PC/Laptop) to be used together, indirectly becoming a supercomputer, for protein folding that can be used as anti-cancer medicine, etc. There's a PC fact that nowadays graphic card was so powerful that it's physics counting performance was faster than a processor. So folders (an individual of a folding team) used their GPU as a priority in folding rather than using the CPU. More GPU, more faster folding.

With this mobo they would be happy folding and bragging about his rig's folding performance.

Bored with high quality realistic games? Try 8-Bit games!

Lol, what's 8-Bit? Is it a brand new band from America or a new fantastic game? No, it's a type of gaming consoles era between 1980s and 1990s and more simple, it's before the time the Playstation 1 was launched (lol, now it's 15 years old, how about the 8-Bits?). The games were old and only a few retro gamers plays on it. But compared to nowadays game, the 8-Bits seems to be more fun rather than a highly rendered real-life-like games. How? Well, maybe it's because the 8-Bits graphic design was quite poor that most people sees it as an 'electronic game'. While nowadays games mostly simulates the possible and impossible real-life achievements in games. That makes it hard to be defeated and takes some time to accomplish. While 8-Bits, "Just jump and kill The Boss, YOU WIN!!!" That sounds to easy. But think again, you just could win some of the 8-Bit games in simple tips and tricks, while nowadays game needs some concentration to win. "When we wanted to win a game we must need a full concentration!!!" the comment before was made by a fanatic gamer and don't listen to him/her or you'll ended up like him/her that plays game for battle! Hey, it's just a game, lol...

A simple example (not detailed) of 8-Bit quality games that made into a short, funny, movie...
