the latest rumour is that the r420 WON'T have support for pixel shader 3.0 and vertex shader 3.0 - something that nv40 definitely will have.

Check this little article out, I'm sure it'll please you about ATI and the R420

Also thanks for all that info, it sounds like some of the new stuff isn't all that great, at least early on. I think I'll just wait to see if these new PCI Express cards are out in 2-3 months, and if not, oh well I'll just buy me a 9800xt or pro. If I ever have to upgrade to a new mobo in order to upgrade video card then that probly won't be necessary for another 2 years down the road if I get a new one in 3 months, and by then they'll be better established mobo's for all this new stuff anyways.

Nice post interman, on the DDr2 and Gddr3 facts!
