Seems like I will need to upgrade my old *cough* GTX480 card pretty soon.. 3GB RAM + dual fermi = Octane lover!

yeah I think the watercooling of the thing will be mandatory. (430w tdp)
Unfortunately it won't be 3GB per GPU but 2x 1.5GB...like with all dual cards.

my question is: if the memory is at the same PCB does octane read it as a whole 2400 MB ?
( as it isn't a sandwich dual card joined by a "quasi sli bridge" with gpu's and memmory in two PCB )

As memory is not shared but dedicated to each gpu, no it will be the same as with the gtx295 or several cards stacked together.
