    I've been loking at some video cards and saw the worksattion videocards, like ATI's Fire GLV5200. Is this good for gaming? what is the difference with regular cards? or to what gaming card can it be compared?

    Those are for 3D rendering and design, not for gaming. They might be capable, but they are very expensive.

    The V5200 is based off the ATI Radeon X1600.
