There's actually a vid card that costs nearly as much as my new computer?
JEEZUS! Does it do tricks or provide you with stock tips or what?

No, not the $1400 one. A $400 one. 'Cause... I had way too many problems
trying to get a second video card to work with the one in my machine. So I
just bought a new card with 4 DVI outputs. Ah, that's much better!
Total time wasted on getting a new monitor, so far:
- well over 8 hours
Given that... It was way worth it for the company to just pay for a single
card that would work. But, ah, what a PITA! Why doesn't any random second
card work - like in the other machine at work that I equipped with 4
monitors? Really, I bought a $50 card and it just worked - right out of
the box.
Oh, whatever. At least now I can play video games at work. Well, I could

Just saying, but your new computer, uh. Um. Anyway, this only cost about
1/10 the cost of my computer. My computer at work, mind you. But, well,
it's a fast computer. Really fast. And I've got 3 22" monitors. And I
was having a heck of a time getting a second video card to work. So I got
a new card that will run 4 monitors by itself. Oof! Now I need another
monitor :)
Anyway, so, yes. It does tricks. 2 GPUs at 512MB each. It does
Crossfire. And it got me 4 new games. Of course, I'll only play those at
home and my home computer is pretty pathetic in comparison with my work
