R580 to have a fPGA socket

"However even with a dedicated socket, graphic card memory would still need to be soldered onto the board. The narrow tolerances of GPU memory would not allow for a DIMM-like solution. ATI's newest R520 GPU already advertises support for a wide range of memory products, including memory that has not even been announced yet."

Sweet. GDDR3 at 1.4 GHz should be fast enough for a long time, you can just upgrade the gpu :toast:
