Whoah, I don't know about that. Graphics cards have been getting pretty funky. Like the GT being better than the 640 and 320 GTS, but the 512 GTS (G92) is better than the GT and GTX and almost an Ultra... wtf

Then you have ATI/AMD jumping to a new generation number, from 2xxx to 3xxx with no significant leap in technology... doesn't make any sense at all, the the HD3850 and HD3870 should've been named the 2920PRO and the 2950XT, or something similar. Jumping the numbers like that is stupid.

Back on topic though, I'm itching to buy a computer now. I mean, January release for the Q9xxx could mean anything, could be end of January!!! I mean, should I just get a Q6600 now?
