Only thing is the PCI bus will be starved of bandwidth even in 2D mode.

Good for driving a Touchscreen that you may have modded into your PC :P

That cracked me up :D.

But the thick heatsink may prevent the thing going to Shuttles or small HTPC cases?

I was lost at its idea of Dual DVI though, that thing is going to power 2 high spec LCDs just fine? (say Dual 24" WS)

I'm wondering if the big news is being missed here. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that the current ATI offering in this space (PCI multi-monitor, particularly handy if you need to support more than two monitors on one pc) is the Radeon 7000 (sometimes called “Radeon 7K”). . . which was based on the Radeon VE, which in turn is a variant of the original Radeon core.

In other words, is this new card going to finally retire the original Radeon core? Such an event should not go unnoticed. . .
