BFG Tech are offering what appears to be the first mainstream graphics card with 256mb of memory. This is what they have to say about their latest product.

 

Dearest friends outside The Institution - I waited for the nurses…watching them under the door to my cell. They want to take away my latest creation, the Asylum™ GeForce™ FX 5600 -- but I won't let them! This card is for you, the gamer and multimedia enthusiast who wants the most! Besides a whopping 256MB of memory, this card has Video-In-Video-Out connectors so you can hook up your camcorder or VCR and edit your creations using Ulead VideoStudio™ 6 SE which comes free in the box! How about free NVIDIA® NVDVD™ 2.0, which flawlessly plays back your DVDs, MP3s, and other multimedia files? Not enough? It also features NView™ multi-monitor display capabilities so you can spread your work and fun across two displays! Built for the present and the future, I designed this graphics card to play the most recent DirectX® 9.0 games and applications with cinematic-quality visuals and blistering fast performance. Now go get one before the "nurses" take my equipment!
