Offering less hastle to install, IE not needing 2 power connectors, and a smaller design ATI won from the get go. I dont much care if the card is a 2 slot design, but i do care about needing to upgrade a power supply as well as purchase the card.
Highly impressive offering from ATI.

Yup the 6850's definately the card they slapped together after the panic stations button was hit, apparrently just an overclock on the core by 50mhz or so.. id assume the memorys been bumped to some degree as well.
