lol this reminds me of whatever that card was back in the 2000's or so, where you could literally make a trace with a pencil to upgrade the version lower to the version higher.
There were several GPUs and CPUs where that was true
Yeah. Those Durons were a stupidly good deal at the time since you could overclock the snot out of them and get a CPU on par with a top of the stack one for absolute pennies.
Unless they caught fire. But that mostly usually didn't hapen all that often sometimes.
