Anyone know the bit-age for the x2600 and/or 8600? I am guessing since the 8800gtx is 384 bits and 8800gts is 320 bits that x2600 and/or 8600 will be, of the xt of x2600 and of gt or gtx of 8600, 192 bits and , of pro of x2600 and of gs or gts of 8600, 160 bits. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance...

Where in the world did you get X2600 and 8600? Did you just make them up? lol

Why would they make the memory interface such a random number??! and again I don't think you're going to find that out for quite a while but i would be appalled if the memory interface was below 256-bit

Heh heh. Your talking about the 8600 as being like the 7600GS is to the 7800GS (in relative)? The x2600 as a x1600? Assuming.
With Vista and DX10's demand on video, it's unviable for them to distribute the "8600" (nothing concrete, all we can do is speculate) with 128 or even a 160bit mem. bus. I bet, but for the sake of my pride; dont quote me (!), we will long to see the 7300GS's 64bit memory from here and out. I betcha' 256 will be the bottom out point. DX10 and Vista will keep nV and ATI on a fast track.

I am pretty sure a 128-bit bus is viable for Vista... just don't expect much out of it. As bas as Vista is touted to be in terms of resource usage, I bet a 7600GS could run Aero without getting pissed off too badly. Can't Vista run on IGP's? Just a thought.
