I agree. My first gpu a, 3dFX Voodoo 2, was probably the best upgrade for me. Going from sotware to hardware accelerated 3d was a big jump, now it just feels like incremental updates. Doesn't seem to invoke the same sense of "ooooooooh" anymore :)

SeaMicro, which received a $9.3 million government grant from DOE to develop its technology, says its server uses less than 2 kilowatts of energy — suggesting that a single rack with four SeaMicro units and 2,048 CPUs could draw just 8 kilowatts of power. Check out the technical overview, plus additional coverage from Wired, GigaOm and VentureBeat."

From the article: "Obviously this is an error. It looks like Redfin software pulled an example listing from the website Owners.com by mistake. That example listing was the White House. We have e-mailed Redfin for comment." I know it's historic but it still looks a bit on the high side according to the comparables in the area.
