Rare: 'Don't judge Banjo-Threeie on screenshots alone'
Destructoid reports: "As you might have heard, Rare sprung something of a massive leak yesterday with regards to Banjo-Threeie. At first it was a trickle, with two screenshots dribbling out onto the Internet, but now a veritable torrent of bear-themed imagery has threatened to drown us all. Now, with screenshots invariably come judgment, and gamers have been quick to draw their own conclusions as to what Banjo-Threeie will be about. According to Rare, however, the armchair analysts are dead wrong."

Nvidia GT200 is a 512-bit, single chip card.
"We finally managed to confirm a few details about the GT200. This is without a doubt a single chip card and as we said before, its quite a big one. The second important detail is that the chip supports 512-bit memory and at least on the memory side it is ready to fight the ATI RV770XT. We know that the GT200 is a high performance part and it will certainly be faster than the RV770XT, but we are not sure if it will be faster than the R700, a dual chip card. At this time, no one knows the answer to that. The GT200 needs a dual slot cooler and it will dissipate quite a lot of heat, but it promises great performance."
