They're likely hoping for the "z0mgz0rz!111!!!!!one! 0n3 G1G 0f R@MZ! 1t'Z uB3R L33Tz0rZ!!!!" crowd. You know, the same guys who automatically assumed the Geforce 6200 512mb was better than other cards because it had 512mb of ram. People who thought the 9800pro 256mb was magically superior to the 128mb.

You know, the people who let numbers on a box make their purchasing decision.

You never know though, there really could be some titles that can put that 1 gb to use. Of course, by the time we see them, there'll likely be new cards out anyway.
