AMD 5x1 Eyefinity Multi-Display Demos, Tests->
Submitted

MojoKid
MojoKid writes "Part of the allure of AMD's Eyefinity multi-display technology is its flexibility. There are many different screen configurations that can be supported. In addition, and this is what sets Eyefinity apart from legacy solutions, screens can also be combined in what AMD calls a Display Group and they’ll act as a single large surface. Video demos of top titles like Aliens versus Predator, Metro 2033 and Far Cry 2, show the impressive setup and how it's better for FPS gamers because the center of the SLS surface, with an odd numbered Eyefinity configuration, is a full monitor, centered on the gamer. The remaining four screens extend outward, offering an unparalleled field of view."

It is a simple technique using very basic drug. The method employs dichloroacetate, which is currently used to treat metabolic disorders. So, there is no concern of side effects or about their long term effects."

Hatta writes with a snippet from MaxConsole: "Nintendo has today lost a major court case against the Divineo group in the main court of Paris. Nintendo originally took the group to court over DS flash carts, however the judge today has ruled against Nintendo and suggested that they are purposely locking out developers from their consoles and things should be more like Windows where ANYONE can develop any application if they wish to."
