hmm even if that cost for the top card drops in at 600 GBP will be cheaper than what the 8800GTX was when it was released

It's going to be external. Via USB port.

Damn, if it is too much better than the 8800GTX then I am going to have to trade mine for it.

don't think campers serious. usb 2.0 tops out at 480mb/sec, which is basically enough to deliver standard tv resolution.

Yep, the top X2800XTX will be better.

Oh sorry, I meant serial bus interface. Using the COM1 port.

You need a null modem as well.

USB, what was I thinking?

Topping the list is the X2800XTX, with a 750 MHz core clock and a Gigabyte of GDDR4 running at 2.2 GHz on a 512 bit bus. Like Nvidia's new cards, it features 128 shaders and an 80nm architecture. The card will initially be going for 600 USD. A dual card christened the X2800XTX2 has also been announced, and is said to be running two 575MHz cores and a Gigabyte of GDDR4 at 2GHz. However, due to the nature of the design, the memory bus has been cut back to 256 bits, rather than 512, and it will only feature 96 shaders. A 512 Megabyte version of the single XTX running the same clocks will also be available for 550 USD.

The next card in line is the X2800XT. Unfortunately this card is slated to run GDDR3 and sports less impressive speeds. The core will run at 600 MHz, and the 512 MBs of memory at 1.8 GHz. It will also only run on a 256 bit bus, with 96 shaders. However, the card will sell for 500 USD, one hundred less than the flagship XTX.

Also unveiled was the X2800XL, listed at 400 USD with 512 Megabytes of GDDR3 and 96 shaders. And last but not least is the X2800GTO, selling for 300 USD and sporting 256MB of 256-bit GDDR3 with 96 shaders as well. All in all, its a formidable lineup, and hopefully one that will help to bring the price of DirectX 10 gameplay down to a reasonable level for most gamers.

Short answer: Primitive LAN, topped out at 16Mbit/s (that's BIT, not byte).
