I have 3 weeks to decide and I love the Evo line but I'm not sure if I like it's wonky radios. Also, I just don't see the support with the photon as I do with the 3d.
I use both Nvidia and AMD/ATI..but I don't trust Nvidia for laptops..after what they pulled with the defective chip-sets a few years ago..I still use them for graphic cards sometimes

The chipset has to do with the memory bandwidth yes:

Evo 3D:
Single-channel 333 MHz ISM/266 MHz LPDDR2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)

Motorola Photon 4g:
Single-channel LPDDR2 600 MHz or DDR2 667 MHz

Nvidia Tegra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Galaxy S2

I do not see any information other then it being dual channel and LP DDR2..considering its 6.4gbps memory bandwidth which is same as the latest OMAP would mean its something like this:

Dual-channel LPDDR2 400 MHZ(800mhz but slightly higher latency)

I suggest to wait out your 30 days and see whats up in the end, swap in 30 days IF you don't like it still and see if sprint can extend your 30 days...(aka give back and then get new phone being the photon)...then within the 30 days you can choose to keep the Photon, go back to Evo 3d or get the SGS2...
