Correct :)

Its aimed at folks that want to connect video players, DVD players, Video cameras to their PC for editting the footage :)

Right I need to consider that, is that card going to be any good ?

Its certainly expensive. Its also the fastest single card you can buy right now, so if you have the money, go for it. Shop around though, you might find a better deal :)

yes its a very very good card, but the next gen r coming out this autum if you want a good card

Can't remember how many times R520 has been put on hold, ATI is a bit weird when it comes to schedules.
