Not at all - I did it for some RAM not 3 weeks ago. Took about 5 days - OK, seems like a long time but honestly, the performance jump is that big, it is worth it.EddScott said:This is what I was thinking to do but I'm a little concerned that the process will take ages. The lad I spoke to at OC did say I could return it but seem to suggest that it would take some time to be resolved.
I'll give them a call when it all turns up on Monday. We'll see what their response is.
In terms of 3DMark as an example
512MB GT - 7800 with a decent CPU
512MB XT - 9500 with a decent CPU
That's about 25% performance in the benchmark. I know benchmarks aren't great but that is an idea....
