I have ordered my PC with a GTX285 with 1GB on a single GPU.  I did not buy GTX295 because it's not a full 2GB card since it only has 896MB per GPU.  When will a full 2GB dual-GPU card be available?

I'm not sure that they're even targeting one, I've heard nothing about it.

In comparison tests the GTX295 was almost always faster than the ATI 2gb card, so take that for what its worth.

the difference between ram is not much performance and as theyhm said, even with lower ram the 295 GTX beats the 2GB ATI card.

In short there is not reason to make a 2GB card when your current one is king.

the cores are more important then the ram

Honestly before i bought any GTX cards i would wait for the HD 4890. Supposed to outperform all GTX series besides the GTX295 at least until the 4995x2 is released.
