why have graphics cards been stuck at 256mB for so long?

See there???

I told you guys to hang on to your money. When the next generation goodies come out in order to push the market in that direction they will lower the prices on the current generation stuff. Now that will be the time to swoop in and get killer cards for a song and a dance.

lol actually this ime you can do that. i cant see dfual 6800gt's or ultras not being able tomplay games at hughest settings for a little while. but the FX5900 and 9800pro wont play the newest games. they will but not very good. meaning 60+fps on high settings or settings that dont look liek crap.
