Just a quick question, a DVStorm2 will obviously render normal effects in multiple layers in realtime, but how will it handle MB? I'm guessing it'll be significantly faster, but not quite realtime... am I about right, or will I be pleasantly surprised?

nobody here runs magic bullet with a hardware pci graphics card? or won't it make any difference at all then?

I don't think it would make any difference at all. Hardware acceleration cards tend to accelerate only particular filters.
