I saw the promo in a Newegg email, compared specs a bit, then got one.

Feel lucky you didn't get the Galaxy. I bought 2 for SLI. I'm returning both. They both suck @ss. They run way too hot and overclock for sh*t. They were tested out of the case.
I was tempted to...

However, I don't think 2GB of VRAM is practical unless you're gonna XFIRE in which you might hate (or not!)...

Yea, definately wait a couple of more weeks. You will start to see some really good price cuts on the 68xx series. The 6870 2GB cards are really very good for 1080p resolutions, when running CFX. One...

Only if you are considering like eyefinity (more VRAM the better) or playing BF3 on max ultra (I heard BF3 consumes like 1.5GB VRAM on ultra)

Basically you're paying $20 more for 1gb more compared to the going price right now for the 6870's series. I hope that helps.

aa will render some parts of the scene at a higher resolution, then downsample intelligently to remove the jaggies. thus higher res = more vram needed.

does VRAM help for AA? Isn't AA almost completely dependent on processing-speed?
