Why does it matter what kind of hardware you can (not "have to") buy
to give your database a performance boost? With a GPU, you would have
one more component that you could upgrade to improve performance;
that's more possibilities, not less. I only see a problem with a
database that would *require* a GPU to achieve adequate performance,
or to function at all, but that's not what this thread is about.
