^Honestly, that's the best thing to do. In terms of playing and enjoying my games - I was really satisfied with my X1950GT - the 8800GTS 512 I got was a bit of a regret, actually my entire new system - was overkill really - I could've saved a decent $600 but I was too obsessed with getting THE best parts I could get my hands on, and besides benchmarking and being able to play Crysis four times smoother, I couldn't really care less about being able to play with 16QxAA and everything maxed out - seemed like a bit of a waste of money that I could've just put into a car or something - I never see myself going high-end with computers again, I'm just going to stick with bang-for-buck budget builds in the future

so yeah, my advice about that GTS 640 of yours, just keep it, really not worth the trouble, just wait till it really gets outdated, I personally think you'll be disappointed in the long run, it won't be THAT drastic a difference really
