its crap for gaming though...

its a 3d editor card and only good for rendering 3d graphics, hence its price tag.

With 128 bit colour precision, thats like the next generation after HD (super HD if I remember).

Can you imagine the power it would draw in a triple SLI setup?

Who would even think of running it on windows 2000. I think XP professional is a minimum for high end equipment.

Not necessarily. Win2k is fairly old for an OS, but it contains the bare essentials. Newer versions of Windows are filled with winky, blinky, slightly annoying, shiny, transparent features that "clog the arteries" of the computer. Windows 2000 also has the greatest number of service packs (on 5 now, I believe?) and is very stable.

They should just say frack the conventional supercomputer. Just have a couple hundred new GPUs quad SLI'ed/Crossfired doing computations. Save on space. :)

oh those cards are for 3D MAYA and such.

you know making real animated movies. like toy story and such. There actually pretty terrible for video games.

but great at making a 40x anti aliased image or video.

With the way prices dropped from Q1 to Q4 of 2008, those cards will be 400 bucks by this time next year. Sheesh... can you imagine the games that will be out?
