Sorry, that was for when you just posted The lone "512MB RAM for only $9.99!" Thing. It doesn't look like spam now.

400MHz was referring to memory speed.
ATI's 1800XT has a fillrate of 10 Billion Pixels/sec. Their card is on par despite lacking 8 more pipes. So like, when they like, add like, 8 more pipes like, they like, will be like, better than like, nVidia! like totally~!

EDIT: I think you'll like this if you haven't found it.

Those are the 512MB cards right? Yeah, I thought that when they first came out about a week ago.

But yeah, those are monster fans on those things. They take up TWO card spaces just 'cause of the fan! 512MB of dedicated video RAM. How can one even USE that much!

Actually the eat up two cards thing first came with the GeForce 5800 FX cards.
Of course that's when they were nicknamed "Dustbusters" Tomshardware or Sharkeyextreme was kind enough to let you download a clip of how noisy it was

400 mhz is the highest speed memory comes in. Why is it bad? You can't get faster ram. 400mhz is the current best.

And the 7800 GT with a 600 watt power supply and Call of duty included is all cheaper than the X1800 by quite a bit. It is a great deal if you are building a system or have a weak powersupply, as you get the 600 watt power supply included.

But man common, 10 Billion Pixels/sec

and RAM speed im referring to RAM chips. I got a 533MHz DDr2 RAM here in my laptop

400 mhz ram is still very fast though. Many computers do not support DDR2 ram. 400mhz is the fastest for most computers.

TigerDirect.com also has a $9 computer case that you could pair up with that 600 watt power supply that comes with the graphics card, if you are making a new system.

I was freaking out when I saw the acer ferrari has DDR3.

If you're looking for parts, check out the TigerDirect.com After thanksgiving deals.

Man, I wish I could afford that dual 7800 GT with 600 watt powersupply and COD2, its such a good deal, but not necessary in the least to play even the latest games.

There is a cheap laptop, a great deal on a AMD 64 3000+ with ram and Motherboard, a great $9 budget graphics card that is better than 5200's and 9200 SE's(at least in some regards), free dvd+R's, and a $7 802.11g USB Wireless Adapter.
