Changing the graphics card in this older quad core made a big difference. The other card, with 512 Mb of built-in RAM gave me a Windows Experience Index score of 3.6, and this new card with 1024 Mb has almost doubled that. So it was worth it for sure. The graphics are better now, and so is the performance.
I mentioned the CMOS Battery in a previous post, and I was wrong about its voltage. It's a 3 volt battery, so mine at 2.5 wasn't all that wasted yet, but it was changed today while the new card was being installed. So it's good for another five years or so, more or less. I have yet to find out if I am.....
