VIDEO CARDS! WHY?

[killowhat]

This is just a short story for a few old friends who might think this is funny ;i dont. my son gave me a gift certificate for christmas, we went to computer store , picked up my pci video card, looked over at my son and he was counting his money trying to get enough to buy a pc game he wanted, so i told him to go out to the car to help mom. put the card back bought him the game. got home he installed the game called me to come look, guess what, couldnt play the game, it required 4x the mb i have onboard. recommended the card i had in my hand in the store.
THE PAIN, HURTING!

The kids won't realize for another 20 years what sacrifice means.

Why a PCI video card anyway? AGP is the way to go.
