The only cuda I ever saw in use is in boinc projects.

Are there no computer parts stores in the UK?

I guess it depends on the game. some games will refuse to work at max
resolution, or with full textures and effects if they feel the HW won't
support it), others will plod along until something goes horribly (or
hilariously) wrong. I remember playing a shoot-em up game where
sometimes, tanks or jeeps would show up as bright pink because the
texture wouldn't fit in ram. (ex: in a field, tank is properly
rendered, because grass texture takes almost no room. In a city, the
building and rubble textures already fill up the card's ram, so when the
panzers roll in, OOPS, they're pink!)

So I now need to have a separate cell-phone contract just to be allowed
to pay my bills online?
I have a company-issued cell phone, and my employer allows me to make a
limited number of personal phone call per month, e.g. to let my family
know I'll be late for dinner, etc..., but I don't think they'd like it
If I started letting my bank send me confirmation requests to it.
Also, we lead a very boring life, so there not enough people outside of
work who need to reach us to justify having a personal cell phone on top
of our land line.

Why so obsessed with Nvidia? B uy the latest ATI graphics cards, great
performance, maybe a little better than Nvidia and less expensive.

with Linux, the ATI cards suck. At least that was my experience with
them, so I went Nvidia. (with multiscreen on linux, Ati was a PITA)
The nvidia driver taints the kernel, but at least they works.
The problem with nvidia is the numbering of cards: the even/odd hundred
might have the same chip (one for EOM, one for retails), and the two
last digits might be related to the frequency or/and the number of
units. The best card is not always the highest number.
Of course, if you only want 2D, any card with enough memory and the
right connector is fine.
The main issue with any top card is the power supply and the noise level
at full power. Best reading many reviews before choosing.

No, you can choose the other variant instead. Banks usually offer both.
