Why do people (in SL mainly) fall for the higher video RAM = better gaming TRAP?

Just felt like asking.

99% of people in Unity Plaza (sellers and buyers both parties) considered... the first question they ask when buying/selling a VGA how much is a VGA with "this much" RAM/how about a VGA with "this much" RAM.

Why is it that when you are buying a PC, you mainly look at the CPU (very bad thing) and when buying the VGA you mainly look at the amount of video RAM (again, as bad as previous case)....when VGA is actually a small PC itself??? Why don't people look at the processor in the VGA???

Let's hear some comments :D

    True, but why do they do the same mistake over and over?

    Because of their laziness and unwillingness to learn.
    Simple example : just look at how many threads are in EK asking for various things that can be found with a simple search in google and yet they ask for it here in EK.
    Same thing applies when they are buying hardware. They make no research in to subject and just asks someone else about it take their word for it.

    Are you really convincing the people who ask it, or just telling only "the fact" so that the other person thinks you have no idea what you are talking about because you don't make any sense? It goes both ways :P

    Yeah, and because moronA simply believes whatever moronB said, he goes and buys the VGA card that moronB said is good.
