From the article: 'The high clock rates of these new graphics cards, combined with full 128-bit precision and extremely high levels of parallel processing, result in floating point processing power that exceeds a 3GHz Pentium processor by a staggering seven times, claims the company.'"

    ...when I told her that I would buy an ATI card that would allow us to decrease the gas bill for our furnace next winter. Guys, you just have to give your better half a good argument and this graphics card is installed in your computer in no time. Just don't mention that you need to buy a better air conditioner to the summer... she'll discover that one. ;)

    Would be hard to make, expensive to buy, consume massive amounts of power, and emit unimaginable heat.
