Any news on 512 MB cards yet?

[Mr.Headcrab]

I still have my radeon 9000 Pro and as soon as I find a 512 MB video card under $650 im buying it, problem is I cant find any news on them yet.

Also how do you use two cards at the same time for double video RAM?

PS is this any good? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-392&depa=1 Its 256MB but its 70 bucks so I bets its a piece of crap.

You don't need a 512MB video card right now, unless you are doing heavy 3D rendering for 3D creations. As well, they probably won't be coming out for quite some time. And to answer your, no, it is not a good card...

512MB video cards are not practical for anything outside workstations currently.

-512MB video memory.
-512MB GART (Mirror of Video memory for system).
-1GB system memory.
-2 GB reserved for OS.

32Bit CPUs have a little limitation that they can only address 4 GBs of memory. A 512MB video card would hit the wall. Hence why 64Bit is coming asap.
