Perhaps the coolest PC ever for gaming was unveiled at CES 2006, and it was not from a boutique manufacturer, it was from Dell. The Dell XPS 600 Renegade features Quad Nvidia SLI technology with dual 1 GB Geforce 7800 SLI graphics cards. Yes, that means four GPUs in one computer.

How will this technology work? Basically you have two physical Nvidia graphics cards inside the Dell XPS 600 Renegade, but rather than the plebeian single 7800 GTX GPU on each card there are two of them. The two cards will then be connected via SLI interface. This move to quad SLI is interesting, considering the systems with standard 7800 GTX graphics cards in SLI mode are still not all that common.

Do you need four 7800 GTX GPUs to play today's games? No you don't need four GPUs, and Hef does not need three blonds on his arm at once, but are we not all in awe to see it? Imagine playing F.E.A.R at 2560x1600 on your 60" plasma with 32x antialiasing and 16x anisotropic filtering with frame rates better than most get with minimum settings, almost makes me weep openly just thinking about it.

Hopefully, I can get my hands on one for a review, and I will let you know if the reality of the Dell XPS 600 Renegade lives up to the dream. The Dell XPS 600 Renegade also uses an Intel dual-core 955 CPU overclocked to 4.26 GHz, 2 GB of dual-channel RAM and cool custom paint by Killer Paint. Plus it is signed by Michael Dell, woohoo.
