The Inquirer's doing what it does best this morning: reporting on rumors for specs of upcoming hardware. Gotta love 'em for keeping the rumor mill churning. Gives us hardware geeks something to talk about until the NDAs are lifted ;) This time, its leaked info about nVidia's next project, the NV40.

"The chip is still DX 9.0 with PS 3.0 functionality but has more efficient shaders then NV38. I t will support DDR 1 GDDR2 and GDDR3 memory and will work as an AGP 8X part, with the chip clocked from 500 to 600MHz and memory at 600 to 800 MHz. Nvidia will announce it at either GDC or CeBIT - with market availability in April/May. The site reckons the name will be the GeForce FX 6XXX."
