I recently ordered a Sapphire 4870X2 after reading this review, plus a few others.
One thing that has me slightly confused however is at the bottom of page 2 where it states
I thought the card had 2GB of video memory, so I'm wondering why I've seen multiple reviews say the card only has 1GB of available memory. Have ATI just put "2GB" to make the 4870X2 sound better or is all 2GB going to be useable.

For all intents and purposes, the X2 behaves like a card equipped with 1 GB of available memory, just like the GeForce GTX 280.
