[CUBE] VIDEO Cards

[FrankG]

This is too vague for me-Is "some improvement" in screen redraw? 
Meaning a window or photo will just pop open faster than it does now?
When I open a 1gig photoshop file will it process faster or just pop 
open the foreground image after processing the file? Scrolling faster?!

Will it pop open the file images faster when I switch from app tp app?
Or is this a mother board processor task?

I looked at XLR8's site to see if I can gain some knowledge through the 
bench tests but I just don't see significant accelleration-
Now I'll concede it maybe needed for the 22" and 23" but how about the 
20"?
