Isn't that another way of saying you want a gaming console? Think about it.

ya u can think of it as a gaming console but upgradable one! with some PC powers..mouse-keyboard-internet...and leave media and programs to normal PCs

More Cards that have great price/performance ratio and fitted with aftermarket coolers

1) Better stock cooling, with the exceptions of the 7800GTX (512) and 7900GTX cooler there are much, much better coolers around, quieter and cooler running than stock. I would be more than happy to add £30 to the cost of my card to get a vf900 or AC NV5 fitted on it already. I think it's safe to say that there is a market for it, why are they so hard to find? (Gigabyte did it for a while with a vf700AlCu i think)

2) Better warranty;
a) One that allows overclocking (like the XFX and eVGA warranties)
b) One that lets you swap out the heatsink withtout voiding it
c) Dont' waste my time with a lifetime warranty, give me four years and the above options and i'll me more than happy.

The main irritation with this is ATI, why the hell do none of thier partners give these options!? At least with eVGA there is one nvida company that gives enthusiasts what they want in a warranty.

2b can easily be cured if they did what you suggested first....put a decent cooler on there!

they shoul all strike up deals with zalman

voltage mods on the card(i.e. trimmers), better hsf, dual core gpu instead of dual gpu's on one pcb or two cards. ummmmmmm that's it until my next refresh. Hopefully when project offset comes out.

what would be the point in a dual core gpu?

if they can make a die with 2 GPU's on it they can make a die thats simply got twice the number of pipes

but then you would still have to buy 4 to have the best

Id like to see them doing AA with minimal performance hit. Jaggy edges are my main gripe at the moment, and id like to see acard that does a decent amount of AA without a big performance hit.

(Remember a lot of the first gen 3D cards couldnt do Bilinear filtering without a performance hit, then the Vodoo came along and did it for free ).

Top end always at 400 or less (thank you ATI) (this time)

Yeah, Pcie might have more potential then AGP8x. But where's the beef? Are Pcie cards doing a hell of a lot more for games then their AGP counterparts? Probably doing more for motherboard sales then performance.
