But that was the beauty of my plan, even if they catch on to the fact
that you're returning the wrong product, you haven't really broken the
law.  They politely return it to you, no harm done.

Here's my original post for those of you who don't even remember what
the hell started all this flaming:

Go to Best Buy and pick up the sound card, internal modem, graphics
card, or whatever you need.  Put your old one in the box and return
it.  Depending on who's working and how thoroughly they check, you may
have 've just gotten away with the cheapest upgrade you'll ever see.
   ---> And the best part is if you get caught, just feign ignorance,
saying
you must 've put the wrong funny looking green card in the box.
They'll give it back to you and you can try it again later.  (You've
got 30 days)  Though if you try to return your old one again make sure
the same people aren't working that day.  Also note that occasionally
they have the people in the upgrade center check out computer stuff
for them.
