HP competes Dell- introduces Blackbird

After Dell acquired Alienware, a company well known for its high performance gaming laptops and mobile computer systems, it gained lots of response from the hardcore gaming society. HP was pushed to second place in this field. But how will HP remain dormant. Hence it acquired high end gaming hardware producer - Voodoo PC.

HP combined all powerful hardware on earth and introduced its ultimate gaming PC named Blackbird. The Blackbird comes equipped with the latest Intel central processing unit designed for desktop computers, the Core 2 Extreme QX6850 overclocked from factory to 3.67GHz which is housed by a high end motherboard made by Asus. Surprisingly they used the Nvidia chipset rather than the Intel chipset. Like all gaming machines, the HP's Blackbird comes with an impressive amount of random access memory, 4GB to be more specific, packed in four 1GB DDR2-8500 memory modules made by Corsair. While the Blackbird will come with support for both SLI and CrossFire, the model 002 offers only a SLI setup made up of two Nvidia centered graphics cards which are based on the GeForce 8800 Ultra GPU and come with a standard 768MB of video memory. In order to maximize the graphics performance, both of the cards are running in full x16 mode. It uses Asetek's Low Cost Liquid Cooling system also known as LCLC. On the storage department, the Blackbird comes with some fast and spacious storage devices including a Seagate 320GB and a Western Digital 160GB hard disk drives which are using the fast data transferring Serial ATA II interface. The price varies from $2,500 to $6,500.
