Re: Computers and the 'experienced' user
Graphic cards are the new arms race because it generates money as gamers seem willing to spend the bucks on funky graphic technology and your right it does seem to border on insanity given the limited time any card spends on the top of the heap before being tossed into the yesterday's news bucket. Sometimes I find it rather funny that people pay massive amounts for graphic power they never even scratch.
I only game on consoles really so my desktops and laptops are CPU/Memory focused and perhaps a tuner card for recording TV, but the main purpose is coding, so often I just use the built in graphics capability of the motherboard. As I mentioned graphic usability of the monitor is becoming a top ranked priority and looking at stuff like WPF and such is definitely an interest while coding. I've always tried to accommodate scaling of my screens but it can be a lot of work and sometimes very difficult to test, so sometimes the results are less then I'd hoped for.
