Nvidia will enter the netbook market next year, with their new platform called Ion! which combines their Geforce 9400M chipset with Intel’s Atom processor. It should end-up replacing the GMA 945 chipset currently found in netbooks.
Simply, it will make netbooks that little bit more capable, possibly allowing users to run more intensive applications, operating systems, play HD videos or even make light use of photoshop.

It is just a bet right now, but the Big Bang turned out to be multiple monitor support, which was suppose to come out in September. Being that it is a beta right now, its not working perfectly, but it still works. Also, apparently there is a little performance hit as well with running your multiple monitors in SLI.This all seems a little bit of a double edged sword. This will be really handy for those who run a TV as well as a computer display and have SLI. As switching off SLI to watch a movie or whatever on your second display gets old quick. However, if you use two displays side by side, then your still essentially only having one card per screen, only its just the top or bottom half or both screens.

The Russian based security firm ElcomSoft is claiming to be able to crack WPA2 Personal wireless authentication security in a matter of weeks rather than years. According to their press release, they’ve employed purpose-written software which is powered with a backend of clustered, commodity-grade NVIDIA GPUs.
This all sounds rather alarming at face value. But how effective would their methods be in real-life application? Read on for my dissection of this development.

Nvidia has created some confusion lately with their naming schemes. As they have multiple cards with the same name, yet they all perform differently. So, Nvidia has settled on a new nomenclature based upon their new cores for their 9 series cards. All GeForce 9800 series cards with the G92 core will be renamed to GeForce GTS 15x, while the GeForce 9600(G94) and 9500(G96) cards will be known as GeForce GT 130 and GT 120.

We all know netbooks aren’t meant for gaming, as is the case with the ASUS N10 netbook! however in this case the N10 comes with the ability to change graphics cards in-between reboots, from Intel 945 graphics to nVidia GeForce 9300M which will allow you to play games! not a bad trick.
Also If you want to play 720p videos you might be out of luck, as according to the reviewer it struggles, shame!
