Daily news podcastUK PC builder Evesham is first out of the blocks with a notebook supporting Nvidia’s SLI technology, which allows for two graphics chips to run simultaneously in the same system.
Nvidia’s SLI technology arrived for PCs last year, allowing users to run two graphics cards in the one chassis, boosting graphics performance by up to 50 per cent.
Nvidia announced that it was extending the technology to notebooks at this week’s Cebit 2006 show and Evesham’s Quest A630 is the first notebook in the UK to offer the technology.
Others due to launch notebooks supporting SLI include Savrow, Alienware, AJP, Rockdirect, Voodoo and Gericom, among others.
The A360, powered by a 64-bit AMD Turion64 processor and running Windows XP Media Center, sports dual Nvidia Geforce Go 7800GTX graphics chips with SLI technology.
It also features a 19in WSXGA screen capable of resolutions up to 1,680 x 1,050, making it ready to display all levels of high-definition video.
Other features include an in-built 1.3megapixel camera, Bluetooth support and dual-layer DVD-RW drive.
Out now, it costs £2,200.
