I love how newegg gets confused regarding specs on so many items. I admit that it can be a little bit confusing that 900x4 = 3600, but how long have people been talking about this??? They should let the manufacturer fill in the "specifications" screen...

I never trust Newegg specs for items, most of them are usually correct, but I've spotted errors on many products I've bought. Usually I already know everything about the product I'm going to buy so it's not that big of a deal, just a little annoying.

So much for 'in stock July 8th'. I am really tempted- out of stock but can Pre-order here in Australia for $339 AUD :)

People should just sign up for auto-notify on all of the 4870 brands they're willing to buy. When you get the email dash to the site and order just the 4870 by itself before it sells out.

amazingly, the VT 4870 is still available. that's so crazy, I don't think that most people know about their lifetime warranty. That's worth at least an extra $15-$20 in my book.

... (sarcasm meter explodes) ...

A GTX 280 at that price would be worth considering, a superclocked 260 I think not :)
