7950 7970

For all intents and purposes are a 7970 1100/1500 and a 7950 1200/1500 exactly the same, or does memory clock need to be 100mhz higher as well? Apparently the 7950 just requires 100mhz more to make up for the lack of cores, but presumably this is only on the core clock?

The HD7970 uses more stream cores/compute units (32 vs 28), so it should be faster even if you overclock the HD7950.

Thanks, but I got a 7950 anyway.
