Ok, while I don't think the statement was polite enough, he had a valid point. I've also been a student until last year. And even then, I got myself a decent GC. How? I became a Programming Basics teacher during the summer vacations, so I got the money to buy myself a x1950 512MB. Of course, I've been a workless student for a while, so I had to rely on presents to get new PCs. If there was an uber-game I loved, I'd just wait to get my chance, but I knew there was no way I'd ever be able to play without the upgrade, so I accepted the fact that devs were never going to make the effort (useless effort anyways) so that I could play with my elder PC configuration while everyone else had already surpassed the standard, and I became patient about it. Last year I finished my Technician course, and I was hired by an IT multinational, so I didn't need that much patience. That's how last Xmas I was able to finally play GTA4. Patience and selfsacrifice, that's what you need and not just bothering devs with obsolete requirements while most people have a decent rig already.
And since I know what I'm talking about

I dare tell you to skip gaming time and work harder. I worked hard for 2 years, I didn't even got out much (if ever) during those years. The result, some useful money, and good marks. Gaming is a bad distraction, I tell you from experience.
Cheers
