no everybody can afford to get the latest greatest..the guy up graded his card to what he probably could afford to get..hes satisfied with it..so why beat him up about it...it never fails around here...someones happy about an upgrade...and 10 people jump in and have to brag about theres being better...it takes a real jackass to knock a guy down whos feelin good about something he did or just got...I SAY..if hes happy..im happy for him..good luck with your card.. i hope it works great for ya...ENOUGH SAID..BUTCHER
