So somebody's computer is running faster now!

There was a scary moment where I thought I'd broken it forever, but it turned out that you have to press down a little harder to secure the ram into the slots.

I definitely can't upgrade this graphics card unless there's something I'm not understanding (I took a gamble on the one card people said might physically fit in there, and nope) but it's okay. It's almost as much fun to read about mods I might install on games as to actually have the game on my computer and mod the heck out of it. And eventually I'll upgrade to a new computer anyway, sometime in the future.

I have a whole backlog of links both in open tabs (don't ask how many) and in my email (really don't ask how many) so I'll be posting those in a few big batches. I don't like overwhelming people and their friends pages, but it's gotta be done.

I do this stuff for a living and I still get tripped up. There's a whole lot of "obvious" stuff that isn't actually obvious.

You can count fans on a card as a rough metric. To me, it sounds like your system can handle a one fan card (relatively short) and likely half-height.

You can also use the cost of your computer as a metric. Cheaper computer? Buy the cheaper offerings.
