The CS department is thinking of upgrading the Sun Lab/MS Lab/I Lab GPUs to NVIDIA GTX 260 cards. While we realize more modern cards are available, we believe that the GTX 260 provides a good balance of price and performance (the current generation cards cost about twice as much).

If you have any thoughts about this (including feedback about the choice of video card), please let me know or write something on this Google doc: http://bit.ly/jhUX7a (which is probably more efficient than a gazillion e-mail responses).

Thanks!

I'm forwarding this to Morgan McGuire, who knows more about cards than I do,
to see how he feels about these...
