| | I agree, some copy protection methods are overkill. Starforce protection, for example, more or less ruined my experience with a game that I bought; Space Rangers 2 (awesome game). I wish I had done a little more research and just pirated it instead, I'm still too afraid to reinstall it...and too lazy at this point anyway =P Flag this | Edit this post |

| How is a PCI video card upgrade going to make a business computer more productive? And your hypothetical office manager is going to pay $100+ to make this upgrade happen?
We've already established that these cards would be useful as display-expansion cards (in fact their only useful purpose) but thanks for continuing to drill it in. I never said otherwise.
I'm sure there are marginal improvements in performance for games, but for the money, who is really going to buy one unless they are going for multi-display? Flag this | Edit this post |

| So it's a glorified monitor expansion card. Whoop de freakin' do.
My position is that this card would not be a valuable performance upgrade under any circumstance. If you need a PCI card to connect another monitor, that's a monitor expansion card you're buying.
When was the last time you bought a card with less than 2 HDMI ports, anyway? Flag this | Edit this post |

| This is neat but I would assume that any such motherboard would be stuck on a legacy platform so old that any performance would be bottlenecked by the CPU.
And especially at that point you would have to question the wisdom of investing any money in such an old computer. Flag this | Edit this post |
