Another month, another upscaling technology. Tapping into
NVIDIA's versatile CUDA architecture, ArcSoft has just announced
its SimHD upscaling tech, which scales SD and DVD content to
"near high-definition quality." The app integrates with the
company's heralded TotalMedia Theater, though you'll need an
NVIDIA GPU in order to really take advantage. We're told that
it's compatible with millions of NVIDIA GPUs from the GeForce 8
Series onwards, including GeForce and Quadro lines. The pain for
better looking pixels? $19.95 and a 5MB download, which may or
may not end up costing more than the code itself if you use Time
Warner Cable.   ArcSoft's SimHD plug-in takes SD footage to
