hardware benefits?

Hi Guys,

When I look at the system configs out here, I do not see anyone using cards like Blackmagic's Intensity, Decklink, or Canopus...
Is there no benefit in using such cards with Vegas Pro?
I'm not interested in their Capture features, but I would like to know if cards like these improve (playback and edit, rendering,...) performance in Vegas...
Or would a pc upgrade be a better choice? (currently running on a Q6600 Quadcore win7 64 bit with 8Gb ram)

Current state of Vegas is that it's entirely CPU based. A faster CPU will give you more improvement than anything else. More RAM may help a little. Nothing else makes any noticeable difference at all.
