The GeForce GTX 295 is a dual-GPU graphics card that sports a pair of GT200 “B” GPUs—a version of the GT200 that’s been produced using a 55nm fab process rather than the 65nm process used on the original GT200.Nvidia did with SLI in reintroducing us to the world of rendering via multiple graphics boards, NVIDIA have decided that stereoscopic gaming was too young to die, and that the time is ripe for hardcore games to don a pair of daft glasses once more in search of an immersive gaming experience.Nvidia has disabled one of the ROP paritions in each GPU, so that like the GeForce GTX 260, each graphics processor on this card has 896MB of RAM associated with it, along with a little less per-clock oomph for painting pixels and doing AA resolve work. Each GPU’s 240 stream processors is fully intact, though. All told, the GTX 295 is a beast, with 1792MB of graphics memory and enough theoretical peak fill rate and shader power to equal a fairly large array of Playstation 3s.
Away from the launch of their new GeForce GTX 285 and 295 GPUs, today also sees the introducing of the GeForce 3D Vision system. We may not have been able to play with this system ourselves just yet, but we can at least take a look at how the system works and is shaping up in principle to give you all an early peek of the latest invention in NVIDIA’s “Graphics Plus” arsenal.

The only problem here is that a lot of people are spending their money on the wrong accessories. They go for iPod car integration kit, speaker systems, FM transmitter kits and so on, without the apprehension on what stuffs they should really take. Well, an iPod owner should always consider buying basic accessories first before going for those that are considered as fancies.

The chipmaker says it can a magnetic field to broadcast. Up to 60 watts of power up to a meter aways, losing only 25 per cent of the power in transmission “something like this technology could be embedded in tables and work surface “said Justin Rattner, Intel’s chief technology officer, “so as soon as you put down an appropriately equipped devices ,it would immediately begin drawing power”

The project, Which is being led by Joshua R.Smith, an Intel researcher, builds on the work of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) physicist Marin Solijacic, who pioneered the idea of wirelessly transmitting power using resonant magnetic fields. Both the MIT group and the Intel researchers are exploring a phenomenon known as ‘resonant induction’ making it possible to trasmit power several metres without wires.

At the most basic Level ,it is the addition of smart chips that makes the cards smarts. Smart chips contain intelligence that is enabled by a microcontroller as well as memory. Inshort, it has an embedded microprocessor that enables the chip to store and process data as well as to communicate with readers/servers.The most significant feature of smart cards, however, is the highn level of security that it provides in comparison to traditional magnetic stripe cards. Being equipped with a microprocessor, the smart card can mobile security features such as biometric identification and cryptography.
