X1950XTX, HD2600XT, HD3870 & 1 x Powercolor Model of HD3870X2 used it but everyone else avoided it

The Article says the GT214 will be a Mainstream GPU Solution. Does that mean it could be for the masses? (like HD4xxxx and Nvidia 8/9xxx series) In short, would it come under (say) 18-20k?

Also, when is it to arrive?

It has to come under 15k to be mainstream

GT 214 will take the role of 9600's and 9800gt/8800gt.
Interesting to see that nv has already evaluated gddr5 for g96.

That's GDDR4. Because its crap. Didn't scale higher speeds than GDDR3 and the lats were much higher.
