dont think he has money for that, cuz he said 500[/quotemsg]
Hense why I said slightly over budget, if he is going to buy a upgrade he might aswell get something worth upgrading to, if he spends $500 now and in 2 years needs to upgrade or $600 now and upgrades in 4 years which is the most cost effective?
