    Look what just showed up at the front door of Castle Grayskull...

    Reception calls me and tells me I have a visitor...turns out he's from pretty far away. He carries a backpack and a single briefcase and he means business.

    I didn't know the Castle Grayskull had a motherboard lab, but I guess it is needed in this day and age. Skeletor keeps getting better hardware, so it is only appropriate for Man-at-arms to do research too.

    A sapphire board and 2 "r520"'s, of course. And don't forget that special ram.

    I moved the thread to the 3D section as a warning that Macci is about to do damage to the ORB. Thanks Grayskull for the early warning.

    It looks like Macci went to ATI to take down all single card records and I am pretty sure to take down the Multi VPU records as well.

    I know he has access to multiple cascades and dry ice/LN2 containers for inside card and CPU.

    Based on the current hardware available, I would guess that they used socket 393 with the newest generation of Xpress 200. I dont see them using a Nvidia mobo for what is going down.

    I doubt Macci went to Canada to learn the national anthem.

    I doubt Macci plans to defect into Wisconsin disguised as a Packers fan.

    Flying him halfway around the world, I think something is brewing at ATI.

    I think ATI arrested Macci for killing all their hardware.

    You're too good...you talk to him, or what?

    But ya'd think ATI would be able to supply him with a cpu themselves...faux pas pour le ATI....

    Thats great... macci walking around in jeans and a t-shirt in a top notch place like that by the looks of the first pic

    Hm, I could be way off here but to me seem to fit together.

    ATi want a 'professional' to bench some new stuff of thier's. They need cooling for him to do so, so they call up PC ICE and ask for more cascade's or to refine thier existing one(s) from Dallas? That would account for PC ICE being very busy atm and saying that he will show everyone what he has been upto next week. Time for Macci to play around with the hardware and post results?

    It all sounds good to me anyways
