Dude. Why do we need new shaders? I think the 2.0 look fine as they are.

I also notice the Nvidia card with 1.6Ghz ram speed? Dude, sounds like their pumping up their numbers, it will most likely only be 800 or 400 but some trick used to make it work like it's 1.6Ghz. You know, it's what intel does with bigger numbers to attract the people who only know what sale associates tell them. :\ *just my 2 cents. Afghan 2 cents (Note less then US$0.01) lol*

yeah its called ddr ram. you know...double data rate ram. if ddr runs at 800mhz, it is effectively 1600mhz.

That isn't what I'm talking about. DDR isn't up to 1.6Ghz yet and nietehr is rambus. They will be using some other propreitary techniques is what 'm saying. Maybe they got a quadruple rate ram or something? Iether way it's still marketing throuh big numbers.

RDRAM is actually available at 1600MHz speeds. XDR also runs anywhere between 3.2 and 6.4 GHz.

I dont care if it uses one or two slots... I currently do not and will not put somthing directly under the video card as IMO its too close for proper airflow to the fan.

College educations are always behind the times . . . it takes time to get materials to press

Well youd think that the professors would at least try to keep up. It seems only 2 out of 3 of them really try to :freak:

Who the hell uses the first PCI slot anyway? Especially if you use your computer to play games!

BTW I love my FX 5950.
