Just put together my first PC, yay. But there was a few references to Thunderbolt cards, which I had not heard of and all the online info is full of jargon. What do these cards do? You daisy chain some sort of external devices together with display ports?

But it sucks, I am limited so much more by the bandwidth than my computer. How am I supped to play Shadows of Mordor when the base game is three times my monthly cap.

taking most of my bandwidth for 3 months for a game that I will enjoy for a week is not really an option. That is like a hundred hours of entertainment that I am giving up.

Thunderbolt is kinda like Firewire or USB. It's for attaching external devices like hard disks or graphics cards over a fast connection.

Apple are really the only ones to use it and Thunderbolt devices are pretty expensive so unless you're into some high-level stuff it's probably not worth considering.

SO better than eSATA?

Graphics cards? SO this is what they use to get those giant farms of graphics cards to do specialty processing?
