The video card was my request. I am very heavy into the flight games, FSX and Falcon. I also do some video editing from time to time.
It looks like there are a couple of worthwhile upgrades that added to the cost.
I really don't expect them to match Amazon. I'm paying for the piece of mind that I can upack, plug it in, boot and start making music. Or fly off somewhere.
There is also the support of if I start making music and and don't hear anything the person on the other end of the line can do more than tell me, "Did you reboot?"
