Yeah, I already have that downloaded and ready. However, as I sit here digging into what I want to do on this system, I'm struggling to find a need to go beyond 512MB. We will see when I get it set up. I just thought it would be "cool" to drop a gig in it. I just could not recall where the issues …

I think that's an SE. I have the same style of card in my Athlon XP system. It is branded as a Radeon 9800SE and has the same style of memory (rectangular chips, 128 bits) and core. However mine has a Radeon 9700 type HSF and a floppy power connector. I believe it scored 4200 pts in 3DMark03. …

What resolution and settings you're using ? I remember when I had semptron 2400 or 2600 with nforce 2 and radeon 9600 pro I had really bad performance in nfs hp2 @1024x768 max settings. Also windows xp sp1 or 2 might improve performance.
