Ok i heard a while ago that the 7800gtx was going to be harder to find and more expensive to get because of a insufficent amount of samsung memory chips. We saw this on newegg with the availablity but idk about price. Well I was looking here at the inside of the Xbox 360 (http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=2611&p=3) and it says "Next up we've got a single 64MB Samsung GDDR3 memory device from the Xbox 360's motherboard; there are a total of 8 of these chips on the motherboard, adding up to the system's full 512MB of unified system memory." Oviously you see where I am going and want someone to clear this up for me. 1) Are the chips used on the 7800gtx 512 the same as the ones on Xbox 360 and 2) If so is this partly the reason the 7800gtx 512 is hard to get.
