I agree, but some people have it to waste. not me though.I just don't want to see someone I'm helping spend $230 when there's absolutely no need for it. That $230 could be spent on something else that's actually needed.
Yes, it's his choice, but I think it's important to make a choice based on knowledge instead of guesswork - especially when it could cost you a large amount of money like this. I mean, why spend money when there's absolutely no need for it?Computer Type: PC/Desktop
