"taken a huge hit below the belt"?

Maybe this would be more clear if you stated

"taken a huge hit below the belt, in the nuts, where it hurts a lot"
or
"taken a huge hit below the belt, in the nuts, where it hurts a lot, because that is a sensitive area"

Yay! More technological advancements.

I assume this won't be limited to just 1 Gb chips, right?

ok so now companies like Nvidia should go out get some of this and redo there GTX295...or just make sure the they put the correct amount of V-RAM on there new GTX 3** GX2's.., i mean common...look at the 9800GX2 it suffered from lack of V-RAM and so did the new GTX295....oh well

1 Gb = 125MB, so the answer is no.

Do tell us the math for 1 Gb = 125MB (instead of the correct 128MB)

...the circuits within this new memory chip are just 40 nanometers apart. To put its size in perspective, a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter.

That doesn't really put it in perspective, it performs some simple math. Perspective would be to say "a human hair is 2500 times wider than one of these transistors."

hmmm... throughout the article you refer to it as 1GB chips then at the end you mention the 1Gb chips (which is more plausible) can you please correct the article to reflect the correct size?

8Gb = 1GB

They are 1Gb chips.
