Now that's a heatsink! It's probably the angle of the picture, but it looks like it takes up even more than two slots' space.

Anyway, with a heatsink like that, it's got to be the ultimate card for Doom 3

LOL...

I wonder if there's a hard drive under that metal cover?

They did mention "256G of virtual memory" ...

That probably just means that it has a MMU that's capable of paging out its memory to the hard drive.

That, and 256GB would be a large, odd, size for a HD.
