That R600 launch delay news may have been premature.

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 10:09:26 Fri, March 16, 2007

So apparently we are supposed to see the flagship R600 (X2900 XTX) on shelves in only 14 days (March 30th). TweakTown is the one bringing us this wondrous and joyous news. Make sure to throw your smelly shoes at them if March 30th comes and goes with no R600 launch.

The Inquirer? Please...

Let's hope somebody actually has their "facts" right this time at least. (I was talking about TweakTown)

Can we stop calling it the X2900XTX?

Because the r680 will be the x2900xtx.

imo, it's not right to call it the X2900 because there hasn't really been an official announcement of the names.
