OK, since the 7900's are back in stock at newegg i want to make shure what VIVO (i know it video in , video out but thats all) is because the i saw in the review that the 7900's dont have VIVO. so what does it do and will make much of a differnce in gamming and what not?
 
Yo,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_In_Video_Out - Don'cha just love wikipedia? Yeah, more or less it's just a facility whereby you can run a video input(such as a tv or VCR) into the video card and use it as an input device.

It won't affect your gaming performance, video quality, refresh rates or the like - so that shouldn't matter, but it is a nice feature to have there if you ever do need it. I've had it on both my old 6600GT and my current 7800GT and never used it.
