Almost as useless as your post, but not quite. These cards are not ment for "GAEMAN", and nobody is buying these for "GAEMAN". These cards are ment for HTPC's, low profile, and high memory for large monitors/high resolutions for HD movies.
 
^ Seriously, you won't believe how many people thing that 2*8500GT are better than a single 9800GT. lol. The thing is there are quite a lot of uneducated peeps. But, yes it is a good HTPC card. Then again you don't need 1GB for a HTPC card.

And yes, quite a few misinformed people will buy these for gaming. 1GB of VRAM is completely unnecessary for a HTPC, the only reason they're adding more RAM is for marketing purposes. Probably to make it look better against Nvidia's 8500GT/9400GT that is now commonly equipped with 1GB of GDDR2.

More RAM always equals faster (I am once again joking, please do not respond to this statement in a serious manner)
