That sounds like a good plan. My luck I will get a new card then the new Maya will come out and that card will be incompatible with the new version..

One other thing.. I have an older PC.. it's a poor brand and lower resources and power.. but I am wondering if I could use it in network to aid in rendering? do people do that at all? Or at the very least I may just use it in tandem with me newer computer for browsing and stuff to free up my Maya machine.
