Do you really game so much to require that card when you could get just as much pleasure and satisfaction from a 6800gt or 6600gt's in SLI?

He's using it for video. I would assume they make cards for that, but I guess not.

If you're talking wireframe graphics then sure, I could see that. So what you were saying before about everything being turned on wasn't true?


70 != 100.

Has anyone invented an external video card for laptops that bypasses or supplements the one soldered to the motherboard yet? I would like the option to upgrade my own video card, but can't. If someone could get on that I would greatly appreciate it.

The bandwidth required for that would be extremely prohibitive.
