A anything4this Honorable Jun 25, 2013 65 0 10,660 Jul 24, 2013 #7 Those are both very weak cards, and would be a waste of your money.. Where are you located? In canada im assuming (bestbuy.ca links). Why not purchase from web or other stores where you can get good parts for lower cost than bestbuy? Like newegg, canadacomputers, ncix, etc. : heres a decent one : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127666 , but there are always deals to be found Upvote 0 Downvote
