In the review of the Gigabyte 6800 GT videocard I saw as 'con' that it has no video inputs
what does that mean, what are video inputs

They probably mean Vivo(video in/video out)....it is exactly what it sounds like....a video input to your pc <i>through</i> your graphics card.

A unified pipeline is coming....expect big things.

That's the output thing. It's an S-Video output.

Actually, inputs and outputs use the same connector, a card that supports both should have two of them. You can use the input to watch TV if you connect the output from a tuner, such as a cable box or VCR.
