maybe when you're helping someone else out? or it could just die. rather than waiting for the warranty you can just swap the old one in temporarily.

also, that card isnt very valuable, you arent likely to get jack squat for it. i've seen that card go for south of 50 bucks at Fry's IIRC, unfortunately. it'd be more trouble than it's worth to sell it.

the 5500 is a POS, those are the facts, it shouldn't hurt your feelings that you got a POS videocard

yep, my sister has been using a TNT2 M64 for 5 years now and it's remained faithful while i've watched tons of other hardware fail. 'course, by now, that card sucks but oh well. slow and steady wins the race?
