Does anyone have any actual interest in these, what with 4850's being so damned cheap as it is?

If this gives the 9600GT some competition, it's all good for consumers. These cards will be very appealing for HTPC applications.

128 bit interface with Gddr5 would be like AMD giving away performace, the whole idea of them using 128 bit is to keep performance down! Want AA? Buy a 48**

OK, can some vendor finally get past 128-bit memory buses for midrange cards?

Oh, wait, nVidia already did that with the 9600GT.

128bit memory interface with DDR5 would be great on one of these cards. Its a shame that may not happen. I'd like to see these outpace a HD3870 by a little and allow AA and AF to be cranked. They'd be what the R600 series should have been.

I'd be impressed if they dropped a small block 350 in one of these babies. vroom. 373 posi and a th350 for good measure.
