Isn't that nice -- I give you the benefit of the doubt, but
you make silly accusations.

What I got from it is Paul was talking about discrete GPU interface
cards, usually PCiE x16.  It didn't occur to me to consider a full CPU,
with an iGPU included, from the context.

Of course, I could be wrong:  Let's ask Paul!

Paul, what did you mean when you said you couldn't go to Best Buy and
buy a GPU?
