Additionally, NVIDIA and Intel have joined forces to bring attendees the ultimate SLI Gaming "Rig", a 30-foot RV with a custom paint scheme that you won't be able to miss-and decked out inside with the latest in computer gaming technology. NVIDIA nForce^TM 4 SLI for Intel-based PCs running a pair of GeForce 6800 GPUs and dual-core Intel^® Pentium^® Extreme Edition^TM processors will be on board to demo the latest games as the "Rig" makes its way from E3 (parked between the South and West Halls during show hours) to a number of E3-related events in the evening.

NVIDIA technologies on display at E3 include:

• NVIDIA GoForce^TM 3D wireless media processors (WMP), the first 3D core with programmable shader technology for handheld devices;

• NVIDIA GeForce^TM 6 Series of GPUs, the latest-generation of the Company's flagship product line of award-winning GPUs for desktop and notebook PCs;

• NVIDIA TurboCache^TM technology, a new patent-pending hardware and software technology which allows a GPU to render directly to system memory leveraging the high transfer rate of PCI Express, instead of using local memory on the graphics card;

• NVIDIA SLI technology, which allows users to combine the power of two graphics processing units (GPUs) in a single PC system for scalable graphics performance, enabling a new class of PCs called Gaming Supercomputers.
