The new nVidia graphics card will use 1Ghz DDR 2 memory. No word on when it'll be out. And it isn't called the Geforce 5.
All this on a 128-bit bus. This still gives the Radeon's 256-bit bus an edge. But things change fast.

The fastest NV 30 will work on the nice round number of 1000MHz, bringing graphics memory to a 1GHz speed for the first time in history.
One of the key questions is, who has this kind of memory? And if you search the net for a while you will find that Samsung promised volume production of this DDR II memory capable of up to 1GHz speeds in Q1 2003.
