Thanks for the tip, Davis. As soon as I wrote that about the card I thought "Gee, I really haven't even looked to see what better sort of card my Mobo will support. The 8800 sounds perfect--cheap too.
Also, I hadn't finished trying things out with the Rambooster. It turns out that now I can pretty much play the game in perfect mode. The only compromise I've made is Visibility is set to Low--those damn buildings. Compared to what I've been dealing with for weeks now, the game really looks good now. I am pleased--and I couldn't recommend this program more highly. You see endless scam offers on the Web for programs that will "boost performance". They all want your credit card number and I've never heard of one that really delivers. This program DID improve my computer. A LOT. And it cost absolutely nothing.
Oh. I'm using the fx5500 set up ID in config ini now. Now it works--didn't before.
