ATI R600 to get 1024MB memory in May

A few weeks after the introduction of ATI's R600 we can expect a new model with a bit more memory. The 1024MB model has a lower priority than the 512MB model and is expected in May.
We don’t know what went wrong with the GDDR 4 1024 MB card but it caused an additional delay. We are sure that 1024 GDDR4 memory at 2200 MHz is definitely not cheap stuff.

R600 512 MB GDDR3 version is now the launch version and its availability is expected at launch time, in early May. As ATI had history with shipping schedule nothing is fixed until the fat lady sings.

R600 DDR4 1024 MB cards are now scheduled for middle of May with sample available in early May. End users will be able to grab some by middle of May.
