The upgrade is done. My computer is now running a 750watt power supply and 3GB of ram. Woohah!
Already I've seen some improvements. With the addition of AL to my Sims2 game, I was seeing loading times upwards and beyond 25 minutes from clicking on the button to entering a house. With the new upgrades, it took under 10 minutes from click to entering a hosue. I can live with that.
Now to see if it'll let me play with visible fishes again without constant BSOD crashes. If it won't, that means it's time to start looking for a new video card.
