Still want an opinion on my question. I have two responses, neither which
address what I want to know. I don't want opinions on ram (I plan to get 16)
or model to buy - I am getting he 3.3 one. Power requirements don't matter
to me. I just want to know if it is worth it for me to get the $200 add-on
video card. :)
