well that's the thing, i'm mostly trying to market to those with decent enough machines feining for rich media content.
it's almost like building high end condos for the the top tier. you know exactly who you target market is, definitely not them section 8 people (aol dial-up mofos with 2 megs of ram on their machines)

hi-rez it is a champagne product, and it's coming fast, and should be reserved for your most spectacular exclusive content.

i think you are about 12 months early to make any big ROI overall.
