i actually had this (http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/foxconn ... 242011t87/) laying around my house, while not on the list it still has a possibility of being able to work with it on ddr2 ram, only problem with that route is i only have a spare gig of ddr2 floating around, i can try it tomorrow, see if it's compatible, but it most likely isn't

ok i got the card in the mail today and i can confirm it will not fit without modification, at least it ppaid itself back already because evga included a $100 voucher for wine, which i find wierd since i spent $99.99 on the card... so i guess i profited from buying a graphics card?

he wasn't trying to sell me the card, it was the processor he was selling me, that's still going strong, but yeah when he bought it we had no clue

got the PC back today, getting 10 gigs of ram into it tomorrow, working great, anybody overclock an EVGA 750Ti before? if yes, what did you achieve, and did you use activeX or afterburner?

play's automation maxed without a problem, overclocks like a dream, and has done everything i asked it to without complaint, so yes, it was worth $130 and a week of work, and for the OCing i just searched around a bit on EVGA forums, and the RAM i got as payment for fixing my cousins laptop

oh, well i got about 10 extra FPS in MSI Kombustor stress test, i just really turned it slightly higher than the FTW edition, if i apply a bios hack i found i can get so much more out of the card
