I emailed AGEIA on Xbox 360 Limitations and got a reply

OK so more than likely this email is fake too. Case closed.

 

Very true...but if it is hasanmasad (however you spell it). He/She will do anything within their power to up play the 360. The name onetimeposter doesn't make feel real reassured either. The thread that showed him in Team Xbox says that he/she got banned for creating false emails in the past...with that said...i'm more weary about this PR email. I also tend to believe the conference more than a "email response"

Also..in conclusion...I fail to believe that the email in question was so personally geard to that emailer...simply because when the information broke there probably would have been alot of Xbox gammers emailing Ageia to conferm...the email is way to layed back.

EDIT: All and all its already been stated that its ONE SDK out of a bunch of others, so its not as big as its being played out to be.

LOL. I needed a laugh from all this.

 

Pie eaten. *takes last shallow* Well at least he's changing and got some cred now.

 

Ok, now I have to ask something completely irrelevant about Altera.
A bunch of years back I received a really large PCI-X board, it had a lot of Altera Flex 10k-chips and a bunch of really large DSPs on it. It was a full length sandwiched board and it looked really nice and expensive, it had different types of connections all over it, but the primary connectors on the back was regular BNCs for some reason.
Anyway, I got this card for some reason but I couldn't figure out what the hell I was supposed to do with it so I just put it on a shelf. My question would be something along the lines of "wtf huge card!?", but that isn't very constructive, but perhaps you have a vague idea of what this board might have been intended to do? What can you do with their chips?

 

I have no idea what this board could have been, but you can do just about anything with Altera or Xilinx chips because they are programmable. If they made a big enough chip with the right memories you could even implement your own GPU.
