The G92 is currently NVIDIA's hottest (not temperature) GPU. It sells like mad on several different products like 8800 GT and 8800 GTS 512 MB. Since both of them are still fairly expensive and ATI has solid offerings in the $170 range, NVIDIA decided to create the GeForce 8800 GS based on the G92 GPU but with less performance features. They took G92 cores and disabled 24 shader units and 4 ROPs. The memory bus has also been reduced from 256 bit to 192 bit which explains the odd memory size of 384 MB.
