its significantly faster than the 640mb 8800gts. youd have to be a newb to assume the pricing wont take advantage of that.380-450 depending on the core bin and clock.
Yes and:

You really want to stick with that $380-450.
Absolutely BE. I have no problems with my asessment of ATI pricing. Keep in mind the intro price of paired fx's versus anticipated pairs cost. The actual price was double what AMD said it would be.
The xt "spanks" the gts hell yeah its going to price with it and above. Its going to price equally to the 640mb version and fluctuate with bin and clock speed.
"Spanks" is hardly what I would call the increase a spanking would be more like my 7900GS against the HD2900XT now thats a spanking.
The 8800GTS 640mb is waaay overpriced in comparioson to the 8800GTS 320mb which is usually the case with larger memory cards on similar cores the "Mine is Bigger Than Yours" buyers go for these, compensating maybe? So a better comparision would be the 8800GTS 320mb running around 300 +/-30. Is it better? oh yea!, can you charge more?, oh yea!, are you willing to pay 30+% more? gulp......er..um... I forgot the question.
IMHO if they aim for 400+/-30 instead of 320+/-30 the sales picture is going to be remarkably different with 8800GTS 320mb cards going for less than 300 they aren't going to take the market share they need to generate revenue. Of course it took them 6 months to figure out where to price X2 chips vs Core2Duo so why would we expect them to come out competitive now so lets roll it out at $449 should solve the production capacity issues real quick.
