Computer Upgrades

So I'm a little happy and have to vent (in a good way) a bit. I bought a video card, and two sticks of 2GB ram for $77. My computer is a slim-line (low profile) so I am a little limited on video card size and power output, but I found a wonderful 1GB 128-bit DDR3 with a 700MHz GPU for $69 and a $25 mail-in rebate from NewEgg. I also bought one 2GB Corsair memory stick for $13, and as soon as my rebate comes in, I'll get the second one. I'm really excited because I'm curious how well my Flight Simulator will perform with twice the memory and going from a 1GB DDR2 to a DD3 with twice the clock speed and three times the stream processors. I love playing computers.

I hope your power supply can handle that card.
