While I'm waiting for my HD 7950 to arrive, I decided to plug in a Radeon x1900xtx to play some DX9 games like TF2 and the Resident Evil series, thinking its superior bandwidth would help over my onboard intel hd 2500. I reapplied thermal paste and plugged in the fan of the Zalman cooler and...

I'm not sure how much this has to do with memory, but I used some built-in software that came with my motherboard (ROG Ramdisk 2.01.01) to create a 16 GB ramdisk from my 32 GB of memory. However, Steam won't let me create a game directory on it; the option doesn't even appear. It only allows me...
