R520 is a dual slot card

Some interesting rumour mill gossip on the inquirer (is there ever anything else?).

MANY SOURCES who have seen one have confirmed that ATI's next generation card looks just like its previous Radeon X800XT PE card.

The reference design implies that you will need dual slot cooling. Chip will be clocked incredible high and our sources implies that will end up much higher than 600MHz plus than we suggested before.

Some of the cards have left ATI's headquarters but R520 clock speeds are not settled as it’s a matter of yields. We know that ATI will be getting in for a hard launch sometime in September time, so it has to have the real hardware as soon as it launches. The third re-spin make the chip and yields looks good but we heavily suspect that ATI might do XT PE this time again.
