Soulburner: That was just a bit of fun, I was trying to think of a good AMD based system to play Half-Life 2 on.

[Soulburner]

Cool, except the only problem is that memory would be severly underclocked to DDR400...kind of a waste :cool:.

NV40 and R420 memory secrets revealed
GDDR3 won't be ready in timeThe Inquirer

[Soulburner]

Sounds right to me, 600=1200, so 1200mhz / 8, x256 = 38Gb/s.

For 50Gb/s, 750mhz memory, or DDR 1562.5 to be exact would be needed. That's just crazy.
