    I normally don't post stuff from the INQ, but since a lot of tests have shown the FX's single texture fillrate to be about half of it's multitexture fillrate, that would point to a 4x2 architecture, and a lot of people have already been specualting that it is one. If it is, I'm not thinking NV35 is gonna be all that great either...it may look good at first, but newer games that make decent use pixel shaders is REALLY gonna hurt a 4x2 config much more than a 8x1.
