Thanks for the suggestion Ondo, but the money's already spent. :o
I picked up my precious ( ;) ) this afternoon, and got it installed without too many hassles. I'm still tweaking game settings, but right now I'm running KotOR in 800x600 with the High-Detail texture pack and Frame Buffer Effects, and it's smooth as a baby's bottom. Shadows and Grass are big performance hits still though (but the game still runs better than it used to with them on).
I'm going to experiment with AA settings, since the butter-like smoothness and great textures now make the 'jaggies' that much more obvious.
The shop is closed for Christmas now, but I'm going to have to call back next week. I went ahead and picked up a stick of SDRAM while I was there, because that's what all my diagnostic programs were telling me I had, but when I had the case open I noticed the chip I had was DDR (one notch in the connector, not two)! :angry: I'm going to have to see if I can swap it out for a DDR stick, dangit.
