pixel pipelines?
 

could someone tell me what pixel pipelines are? i'm looking to buy a video card for my computer i'm building. i'm not much of a gamer, i just want some fairly nice graphics. i will use it mostly for video editing and as a tv tuner. how important are pixel pipelines?

thanks for you help

The standard for today is at least 12 pipelines however the more you get the better performance will be. For the situtatioon you mentioned above I think 12 would be fine though.
