"You liquidated her? How resourceful!"
So, I got the 1 gig video card, and 2 gigs of ram, and installed everything. It all ran fine. I put on the game with the toughest graphics and ratcheted everything up to the highest level, and it had no problems with any of it. I guess I'll hold on to the 256 mb ATI graphics card, though it's a good mid-level card (PCI 16).
And that 2.6 gig CPU.
Yar.
Interestingly, all the movie compilation programs (none of which is that great) ran speedy and with no hang-ups as they did with the 256 mb graphics card and only 2 gigs of ram. That was delightful, need to send some baby DVDs to grandma.
Now, to try to get lightscribe to work on the machine. For some reason (a dll?) the thing keeps hanging, and that's annoying, since I have the equipment. Bad install by HP? I dunno.
