$280 for a couple of percent better frame rates and ping times...I wonder how many of those they'll sell? Even nutty gamers have to have some sort of spending limits...don't they?

-looks up pricing for Crossfire X1900s and Core 2 Extreme processors-

On second though, maybe we should all buy some stock in these guys.

I think everyone else has summed it up fairly nicely, but there's not much reason to buy cheap SATA, USB, network, or sound cards. You might get a bit of a boost in gaming performance and sound quality if you buy an Audigy or another higher-end sound card, and big fancy drive controller cards offer up full RAID functions, but that's really about it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
