I'm not a fanatic by any means but it'd be pretty cool to have.

I agree.

You may be right, but it'd be cool to have. I'd use it to make chiptunes and shit.

If you're not using your old machine, you may as well.

I probably will. I'll have to get myself a better graphics card first so I can put the old one back in the old PC.
