from what i see, it still uses yesterday's ram, ddr3. ati already implement ddr4 and ddr5 in their upcoming 4 series.. but maybe this one cost less than ATI, possible?

Not bad...Looking forward for this card....targeting GeForce GTX260

so many gfx liao ! wtf ! how to compete ! buy 30 super system ! build some nice one !

Any source for this article ?

Geforce GTX 280 looks good! But I think should be cheaper than ATI new upcoming series.

But does it support DirectX 10.1? I think not. Correct me If I'm wrong.

1GB of RAM??? all the more reason NOT TO use 4GB of ram in a 32bit OS. it will take the 1GB addressing space above the 3GB. Not only you can't get 4GB ram, even with hack, you can't even get 3.5GB XD

& ur point is?

what he means is the extra 1 gb of ram you installed on the system will go to waste.

32-bit system can only support a total memory of 4gb. Priority is given to other memory first before the ram. So if your GC already take up 1GB, the max ram the OS can utilize becomes 3gb only.

Actually only 3070MB left if you installed 4GB in 32bit OS with 1GB ram for your GC.

This is what my RAM available now.
