this thread is moving off in a tangent from it's original direction. i will just say this, this card will sell to mostly the uninformed, but that doesn't mean its completely useless. there are some people out there who will make full use of it. i was only trying to describe one situation where 1.5 gigs on a video card could be taken advantage of.
One user made a comment saying only noobs would buy this. Wrong, dedicated F@H users (such as myself) find this to be a great product.
Just my two cents :)
If the price is right I might buy one for a folding rig.
Sure, this card may be good for folding or CAD, but surely there are better options!
