Radeon HD 2900XTCore clock
740MHzMemoryMemory Clock1.65GHz (825MHz DDR3)Memory Size512MBMemory Interface512-bitMemory TypeGDDR3 also it has 320 stream processors

Now from what i see is that the 2900 xt has a faster core clock even then the most overclocked edition of the 8800 gts it does have a smaller memory size (512mb) but it has a bigger memory interface (512 bit ) compared to the 8800 gts (320bit)
the only thing i see different is the memory clock is a tad bit faster in the 8800 then the 2900xt.
but the difference in stream processors is very large 320 to 96
Also the asus 2900xt comes with the hdmi adapter which carries sound
it seems to me that the2900 xt is the better choice
I know that it is running pretty close to the 8800 gts , but I am curious to what you guys think the 320 stream processors and the bigger memory interface will bring to the table once games like crysis , call of dut 4 , and gears of war come out.
Please help me decide on which is the best card to get ( not worrying about price) out of the 8800 gts 640 mb and the 2900xt 512 mb cards
