Why would you do that? Have you looked at reviews/performance for each card? I think you should before you make a decision.

* I would gladly trade you my GT 240 for it though. The GT 240 is clearly a superior card. It's smaller so it takes up less space, it doesn't need those fiddly PCI-E power cables and it uses less power which is good for the environment. Let me know, I'm ready to ship immediately. Hee hee...
