Yes, I am aware that more is better but I would start with what I have.
However I just called Tiger Direct and today the price is $10 higher,
the sale was only good for one or two days. The difference is not
significant but it's a matter of principle now.
A few weeks ago I needed a power supply, they had one on sale for $15
but there was no way I could buy it for that price? It cost me 30 plus
shipping, a fair enough price but not what was advertised and the ad was
effective when I ordered!
They seem to specialize in "come ons" and a lot of rebates!
