An Exegesis of Promethean Myth by N. Lygeros and J.D. Martinez In the Greek language one of the etymological meanings of the name Prometheus is 'prometheia' or 'prnoia', which literally means pre-vision and is translated into English as 'forethought'.

Pen Emporium, Stipula - Academia Project - "Le intramontabili" collection - Prometheia gold Prometheus' punishment for having uplifted mankind from its abject submission to Zeus' tyranny was exile from Olympus and the worst of all tortures: he was condemned to spend eternity enchained on a solitary rock in the Caucasus, his liver devoured anew every day by an eagle. The shaft of Prometheia depicts Prometheus in the act of reaching "downward" toward the bleak realm of defenseless humanity. The figure of the god twists as his head turns upward to challenge with his gaze the powers of Olympus: Zeus (the father of the gods), Hera, Aphrodite and Hephaestos. www.penemporium.com /cat_prodotto.php?id_prodotto=506202   (191 words)

X-bit labs Community :: View topic - When Overclocking are the benefits linear? The bottom line is that the Prometheia and 3500+ are close to the price of the FX-55 alone. BTW the SLI sys that I detailed in the other thread as it stands I spent $2398.44, this doesn't include a new monitor, its a lot of money, but considering my last system was the Pentium II 300mhz from 1997 its not bad. If I bought G.Skill memory http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-231-006anddepa=0 and the Prometheia about ($1200 for both) and I got a 50% increase in performance then the cost benefit would be good, but only if the ocing is linear. www.xbitlabs.com /forum/viewtopic.php?t=6850   (3500 words)
