The specs are easy my friend:
Core 650Mhz, RAM 1600Mhz - 24pipes.

Lets just wait and see eh? Fact is BFG have not released details of any other model other than the reference clocks at this time.
Whats the point of boosting the clocks? Current offering is CPU limited (even my mighty FX60's @ 3.4Ghz) and it's not like they can use a different cooling solution to keep it cool under load if it were to use higher clocks.

Will be an intresting one how you phase boys are going to cool all 4 gpu's, sure it wont be long before soemthing is made

You are having a laugh
The only way you could do this is to separate the layers, pray the comms cable dont break and mount the phase heads onto that - would need to sli phase rigs to do it properly.
Not impossible, and someone may try it - The BIOS is available for tweaking

Possibly cables to plg into the bord and then to the gfx to free them up a bit?
Maybe water only on them, possibly pelt

Nothing is impossible - but why would you want to do that? - after my SLI 7900GTX's clock past 750mhz the results are processor limited, I doubt if the benefit would in any way outweight the risk involved.
What I am saying is it wont score any better coz the CPU will hold it back.

Yes.
It's unavailable for anything other than a system build from the chosen few for around £600 a card.
If anyone ever bothered to read previous posts in the thread you will see that I inform you that a retail version will be made available in the not too distant future (shorter card, maybe better/different cooling).

750mhz clock and 1800mhz ram on all 4 cards be mint, all water cooled. Total power of 3GHz GPU and 7.2GHZ ram
Think the new Intel stuff, Conroe and what ever AMD are possibly thinking of doing will run this

It's unlikely that you be able to do that - it will bring your PSU to it's knees as soon as you start clocking the cards.
A single GTX 7900GTX @ stock running full load will soak up 120w of power (still a lot less than a X1900 though) so quad SLI alone at stock under full load will soak up 480w @ 50a, you need 30a or more for an an overclocked CPU, then you will need a 3-phase supply to power it all

I've heard rumours these will be powered off there own seperate supplied PSU. No drain on the PC PSU at all
It does however mean that you will need 3 sockets JUST for the PC, let alone phase or watercooling.Still think its rediculous though. They need to work out ALL the bugs from SLI and Crossfire on BOTH platforms first!

HGahaha Bordy you caught me out then, the requiremnt of 3 power sockets...i wa slike erm..why then it clicked

BELIEVE it or not, Nvidia partners have managed to get and sell a few Quad SLI cards already. These cards will be known as 'long' Quad SLI cards and they will certainly not fit in most retail end-user cases.
The cards went to the system integrators who built them in their machines. Don’t get over-excited as we are speaking here about a few dozen cards per partner.
Nvidia just told its partners that another, shorter version of the card is coming by the end of the month and that there will be substantially more of these type than the first long Quad SLI ones. At this time Nvidia struggles to ship any high end chips and cards.
The retail only cards are branded as Geforce 7950 GTX 2. We remember that Nvidia used this 50 suffix with its Geforce FX chips and had cards such as Geforce 5950 and 5750 but this suffix actually meant that the card is bridged to PCIe, as the cards without suffix, Geforce FX 5900 was AGP only. The cards should be priced at €800 to €900 apiece and we don’t think there will be too many of them.
