Cool stuff.

Here's one that's a little more useful for gamers though:

Dual 6800 Ultras with 256mb each for a total of 512mb.

That video card is built for professional such as CAD and the like. Even though the specs are really impressive, it will most likely be very slow in regards to games much like all prior professional 3D accelerators. It's almost like buying a IBM Blue Gene for gaming... It is sickly fast gaming is not its purpose.

Pretty cool nonetheless

true... check the review at the page:

This card is the most powerful workstation graphics card in existance. This thing renders so many polygons so fast... However, it really sucks for games, but this was never its intended use anyway. I use one of these for Maya, and a x850 for game engine testing. Great combo.

looks like its made for 3D graphics only. so, don't all run out and by one.
