Yeah, but the RAM doesn't affect gameplay that much. All Nvidia's doing for now is delivering the 7800 Go, and the 7800GTX 512MB. At most, I'd say that the extra RAM will give it 1 or 2 FPS? Actually, I don't know, but I've heard that the RAM doesn't really matter that much since today's games aren't that demanding.
SLI vs Crossfire?

ram does make gameplay much better. take a 128mb x800 and a 256mb x800 and teh 256mb will win all the tests
Of course. But the change from 256MB to 512MB isn't that significant. I'll look it up in a second.
Found it.

well i said it would make a difference i didnt say how big did i? i win! muahaha but ATI is kicking some ass
Crossfire is basically ATI's counter to Nvidia's SLI. It uses two graphics cards (they can be different models, but one has to be Corssfire ready), and are connected by cable. It's more efficient than SLI, and it has more ways to split the graphics load onto the two cards.

Owned.
The X1800 XT is the ULTIMATE overclocker. It may only have 16 pipelines, but ATI cards always get more per clock cycle (similar to AMD's higher IPC). Now imagine two X1800 XT's in CrossFire and overclocked! Whoo...bye bye G70.
