a new 7950gt can be had for 200.00, so resale should be considerably less..? but in any event,
how does 3.88 even cover the shipping? is the 8800gts current retail price less than the 7950's resale price?
and when i checked into changing my 7900gs for a 7950gt, it was a lot more than four bucks...enough to put me off of doing it, and i'm not hurting for cash. granted, that was awhile back...with the newer cards it may be a viable option.
but i still say not having a graphics card for two weeks, or four weeks, or sixteen days SUCKS. jmo, tho.
