The Third Dimension

• Graphics cards are used to accelerate video files
  or help decode DVD content
• The big mass of users don't care about 3D games
  or any kind of shaders
• Longhorn will also use 3D menus and 3D interfaces
  and will require at least Shader 2.0 compliant
  cards, so it will make the graphics card an
  important part of your PC
• Windows performance will depend on the quality of
  graphics card you have
