Deal or No Deal?

[Damsco]

my friend is gonna buy a new pc and he wants to sell his old graphics card to me for 50 euros
its the same video card i had, ati radeon 2600 hd pro
shall i buy it or shall i gather more money and buy a new one?

Cheap graphics card is better than dead graphics card.

[Damsco]

so shall i buy it or not?

[Cheesecake]

Yes - 50 euros is cheap and the card doesn't look too shabby either, buy it, install it, enjoy it.

are u sure its not broken or anything?
