that's why 4 gtx 280s might be a better gift this year. GPUgrid has something on their forum where they think four of those cards on a quad could potentially get 20k credits...per day.

I am getting 10 shares of GM and Ford stock for everyone on my list.
Worst case scenario is that they can have spare toilet paper for an emergency, or they can hand them out for Halloween....

You didn't say how much they cost.
I have an Athlon 2000 would you like that instead?
