Hey, first off im not an idiot or very gullable but... i know a guy who says that he has a graphics card with a gig of dedicated memory. to me that sounds not only excessive but impossible considering that 512's arent on the market yet although i might have believed him if he had said that he had a 512 cuz this guy has the best of everything before most people have heard of it. so is it possible that this guy copuld have possibly have a 1 gig graphics card, im not very knowledgable bout graphics cards so is it possible that he could have messed with 1 of his other many graphics cards (i know he has a hell of a lot of em)??? oh and does anybody know when 512's will get here cuz thats what doom3 calls ultra high quality and i think that i could go 4 a bit of that

Dear downtime,

Yes there are 512 MB Video Cards on the Market, and they have been on there awhile now:

3DLabs Wildcat VP and VP Pro

They come in the following:

8 x AGP, All DDR, 64MB, 128MB, 256 MB, 384 MB and 512 MB

Tiger Direct has had them in their catalog for awhile.

The 512 is part number: W261-0080

Maybe he's talking about the memory speed. That's what you raise when you overclock. I've seen a bunch get over 1GB in that category.
