The benefit of it is not so much the performance for gaming and such; 
it's just that the 4MX has two digital outputs (one ADC, one DVI), so 
it would be great for anyone who wants to run two LCD monitors from 
their Cube.  I believe there is only one other card out there  -- the 
Radeon 9000, I think? -- with the ADC/DVI outputs, and it would also 
require mods and is much more expensive.
