I would be anything if I had that kind of money to spend on a graphic card.
Shake it to the limit!

If it was fast and not extremely priced I would look into buying it :D

If it could hold its own against an equivalently-priced Nvidia or ATI card, I'd buy it.

I just wish they'd get the Parhelia cranked up to some decent core speeds for the price (220MHz for a $399 card?!?)

I have never paid $300 (let alone $500) for a video card. If they released a decently performing card in the below-$250 range, yes I'd consider it. Heck, I even own a G450... I don't use it for gaming though (of course).

If they haven't cancelled or postponed Pitou to eternity (probably, but I've heard that faster cards may be coming), it might be possible. :wink:
