They could get the HIS AGP 4670 for around the same price.That is absolutely crazy.It's a wonder that some actually keep using xp. I know of a school district here locally that got new laptops for their students, preloaded with 7 Pro, and wiped the hard drives clean and installed xp. Ever since, I've heard of usability issues because people aren't using decade old software anymore...
The place I work is resistant to upgrade because it is a cash-strapped small business. But being a small business, it still has a large number of computers (half with CRT monitors I might add). To buy software for all of it would be quite an expense. In fact, before I got there, they were resistant to update the computers "due to possible problems caused by an update". This included security updates. I might also add that they are now doing better because of all those 'bad' updates. Got a lot of Dell Optiplex 330's for normal staff, so quite old.
The graphics team recently bought a GTX 550ti and found that they couldn't install it due to the AGP slot that apparently didn't accept PCI-e x16 o.0
But bless their hearts, its a non-profit that gives most of its gold away to help the community. What can you do?
