CPU's and GPU's - A.K.A. boys and their toys


I found this video clip on YouTube. It seems the graphics chip manufacturer NVidia hired the Mythbusters crew to demonstrate the difference between a conventional CPU and a GPU. With the link to tonight's early story about Leonardo da Vinci, how could I resist?

    I would take anything those Mythbusters bozos claim with a grain of salt. They definitely do NOT use scientific methodology in their experiments.

    They've introduced a TV audience to several of the critical ideas of science and engineering. And, being great showmen, people watch them.

    If the members of the audience learn to spot the potential flaws in the experiments and start yelling them at the screen, then I think Jamie and Adam are doing good. Isn't there a web forum where people debate the merits of the experiments?
