I know that there is a graphic card maker called Gecube, not Gamecube. the Inquirer article says Gamecube.

Gamecube launches X700 with 512 MB part.

SHLOWELY BUT SHURELY the graphics card market is marching toward 512MB graphic memory.

More and more manufactures are presenting their 512MB designs, including many ATI partners with X800XL card, Nvidians with 6200 and 6800 cards and now ATI partner Gamecube is launching an X700 card with 512MB of ram.

It's a PCIe card cooled with a 'silent, high performance' Heat-pipe cooler. Its goal is to reduce noise or, should I say, eliminate it completely. The card is one slot design and is clocked to standard X700 speeds - 400MHz core, with eight pipelines.

The company believes that it will be ready to ship its GECUBE RADEON X700 Professional 512MB PCI Express graphics card ahead of the competition and expects to have them in the US market in early May, priced at $199 excluding VAT.

By Computex, most graphics cards will be 512MB as, of course, 512MB is two times bigger than 256MB and folk like to buy big numbers. µ

The funny typo is here: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=23155

OMG. Gamecube SP

You even get a maths lesson. That's some fine, damn fine journalism at work right there.

The CNN lady, when talking about Xbox 360 said that it would have harsh competition from PSP 2.
