we\'ve got the best economy in the world. So they say, These cards are cheap to the working man.. but i\'m not working as of yet. I can\'t be bothered saving for the next gen cards, they will probably be around 800 bucks.. I always wait atleast 1 year before getting a card... Normaly i get cards that don\'t need updating for around that long, but i brought the MX card, mainly so lisa would have a gfx card for her comp. My gfx was outdated before i brought it.. Remember, We get more cash then you americans.. but everything here is twice as expensive. I used to make around 17 dollers a hour. Most americans as far as i know, make 6 dollers a hour.. Something like that. Once i finsh my electronics degree. I\'ll be making 40 to 50 a hour.
