AMD surprise many people with 800 sp, many said "no it has 480sp" and it turned out to be false. I wouldnt be surprise if R700 has 2GB ...
(nordic hwardware was the only site suggest that it has 800sp since like May 15th or something)


but with all that 2GB GDDR5 i hope its not going to be over $550USD, $600 is my limit (499 just sounds a bit too good to be true, sure the lower the better heh) ... i was gonna drop that $650 on GTX 280 .. whew dodged that bullet, and bought a X38 DQ6 for R700 with PCI-E 2.0 slot (vs my old 680i )
