In regards to the poll Im not going to bother to vote, but I do have some thoughts, which I thought Id share with y'all.
Firstly, no I wouldnt buy a new ppc card for classics, as it'd more than likely be too slow to add much in the way of modern functionality. The classic itself would be an additional bottleneck to something that already would be very humble (in terms of modern computing). If a Sam440 struggles to even play dvds without dropping frames then what chance does something that'll be most likely slower have. I would however buy a new accelerator that aleviated the need for cpu resources, like an accelerator with onboard rtg + video decoder hardware.
I only glanced over the thread, but I noticed something about %-ages of members vs people voting and so on. One thing to bare in mind here is that the number of active people is significantly lower than the amount of actual members. Remember that Amigaworld doesnt close accounts, so there's probably a not small portion of members who dont actually use the site. I actually asked to have my account removed almost a year ago from amigaworld.net and they refused me, and I know Im far from the only one.
