I think it probably weighs about what I do...

that's chunky. I could dominate in Pong if I had that!

May be a bit more I think.

I'll guess $700 ... it'll be interesting to see how much RAM this thing gobbles up due to shared I/O resources (the way Windows reserves memory space for hardware devices) on a 32 bit OS.

I have a 7950gx2 card in a Win XP rig (32 bit OS, of course). I had 4gb of RAM in it at one time, but due to that 'feature' I actually only had 2.24gb available !!

Yeah that can be quite a problem. All the more reason to go x64!
