Hi there,
I am a student in Hamburg and I unfortunately overlooked there's a student discount. Will the educational discount be added to the 50% off special super-duper week discount? =) (I'm thinking about buying a second license for my PC.)

Thanx in advance

Jonny

P.S.: I don't really know where to ask this, so please excuse these off-topic questions:
I want to buy a new graphics card and thought about a GTX470.
1.) Will there be a problem with "only" 1280 MB memory? Are there good alternatives in the 300 € segment?
2.) What would I do if I needed a card with more memory for some scenes? Could I theoretically buy a low-priced card with more memory and use this one just for certain renderings needing extraordinarily much memory or how can I deal with this problem once I have a GTX470?

we don't offer educational discounts on the 50% off deal, if we do that the transaction won't be worth it anymore...

I'd recommend the GTX470, with some clever usage you can make big scenes with it.
And you'll love the speed.

I understand that - it's great enough, but I wanted to ask^^
