^That's an excellent way to put it. You know what's funny though, is that noobs will be like, "WTF they downgraded it from 640MB to 512MB" or if they're even dumber, they'll buy the 640MB version thinking it's better. I still think 8900GTS would've been a much better name for this thing, or even 8850GTS (although that is quite an ugly name).

I will buy it in a heartbeat if this thing is priced at around $300-$350 (for cheapest version possible) and performs just as well, if not better than an Ultra.
