sheer processing power is never a waste of money.  I'm sure your renders
will render a lot faster! :)

anyway, a graphicscard has nothing to do with povray:  povray uses the CPU
power, only.  Modern 3D-accelerated cards are geared towards fast
interactive 3D graphics and do not feature the kind of calculations povray
needs.

And, btw, if your CPU is not dual-core or multiprocessed in any way, povray
7 will run just as fast as povray 6 in your machine, afaik.  Its magic just
shows in multicore CPUs...
