Thanks Eric, But that brings up more questions... If the extra RAM on the graphics card only helps display, what kind of benefits are we talking about? Is this increased frame rate in games/ movie playback, smoother scrolling, and support for higher resolutions? I've also heard that Jaguar was going to offload all of the operating system graphics to the video card. so in that sense, a better video card would mean a smoother moving UI, right? Lastly, what about cards with the dual monitor support. Say you've got 2 displays running off an ATI 9000 with 64MB of RAM. Basically that's 32 per display. would there be an advantage to buying a PCI graphics board for one of the displays so that you could have the AGP and full 64megs dedicated to your main monitor? thanks again for the previous info, and thanks in advance for any more info you have. -pix
