what about a standard for categorising the different cards based on there computer resources/speed. like sd cards classes.
so speed class 1 if no use 2 only usb 1.*
speed class 2 usb 2 less than 1ghz & less than 1gb ram
speed class 3 usb 2 more than 1ghz & 1gb ram
speed class 3 usb 2 more than 1ghz & 1gb ram gb ehternet
...etc
multimedia class SD only capable of sd video
multimedia class HD (720) only capable of HD video
multimedia class Full HD (1080) only capable of Full HD video
gaming class 1 old games upto games form mid 2000's etc
for the question what class for video editing
multimedia class full hd and speed class 5
Or what about making it only 1 class to worry about?:
gaming g1 old games g2 newer games g3 lastest games multimedia mm 1 = music playback mm 2 = basic audio editing mm 3 = advanced audio editing mm 4 = sd video playback mm 5 = hd (720) video playback mm 6 = full hd (1080) video playback mm 7 = sd video editing mm 8 = hd (720) video editing mm 9 = full hd (1080) video editing
generic g1 upto 6webpages at a time minamul multi tasking text documents g2 upto 30 web pages at a time g4 upto 80 webpages at a time etc
This is just a suggestion on of what it might look like. What would you suggest?
oh yea, this would make it so much more easier for people, currently it's a nightmare for them to know what spec they need. they end up buying more than they need, out of fear or thanks to bloody sales human.

ok, there is only one shot at that, and it's by using the difference between the 5.0mm and the 3.3mm heights. i want to reserve that for the RGB/TTL output resolution.
so, 5.0mm CPU Cards (which will NOT fit into a 3.3mm slot) shall be 720p (maximum resolution of 1280x800)
3.3mm CPU Cards (which will fit into BOTH 5.0mm and 3.3mm slots) shall support up to 1080p (maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080).
this still obeys the "slot it in, it will work" sales pitch... which is a slight lie, because it is actually "*if* it fits in the slot, it will work".
i'm not willing to push the luck any further than that, however.
speed classes 1, 2, 3, 4 .... that is *way* out of the "if it fits, it will work" sales pitch. it's far too complex for the average person to comprehend, far too complex a sales pitch.
the sales pitch should LITERALLY be "you get what you pay for, here are the options ($20 to $100), but all of them work".
it will be the salesman's job to sell the end-user faster versions with more memory, faster interfaces etc.
