Hi,

I'm new to the forums and I was wondering why this is not available anywhere except Japan.

I mean, really if you were to look at this particular peice of hardware you too would wonder "WHY?!?!" Now, for those wondering "WTF is he talking about" or "This guy should explain what a Spursengine is..." well, the Spursengine is basically a PS3 processor, but has half the clock speed and half the SPE's (basically the cores
In a nutshell this is like an nVidia Tesla for encoding and decoding video streams.

Basically it speeds things up A LOT. The only downside is that it only has 32-bit drivers, or at least to my knowledge, luckily I have a desktop with a 32-bit version of Windows Vista.

So yeah, any ideas...


Regards,SpursEngine_Fan
