 I don't really know much about this, it was only stated that 90% of it was 
done with an Onyx2 (2p R10-195). I recently watched the video and thought the 
geforceFX video wasn't so spectacular :).

 The Onyx2 is much bigger (the standard in PC graphics since 3Dfx) and looks 
way cooler :). Take a look at the Developer's Toolbox for information, there 
are also a couple of nice Onyx2 demos you can try on your GForce. They also 
have "From space into your face" up for download. Damn, I need to get an Onyx! 
I'd really like to watch that...
