Default ASUS Goes for the Gigabyte
Quote:
SUS announced the EN8800GT/HTDP/1G, an Nvidia GeForce 8800-based graphics card with a full 1GB of onboard memory. The DirectX 10 friendly card also includes what ASUS calls SmartDoctor, a method of overclocking not only the core and memory clocks, but the shader clock as well.

Just when everyone thought that it couldn't get any better

But theres only so much ram you can shove onto a device before it becomes useless to put more ram on. It just isn't all about ram anyway. Sorry if im being pessimistic, although 1GB of ram does seem interesting.
