Reassemble and .... switch ON!!!

I was a bit concerned that hacking and sawing away at the motherboard had wrecked it at the sub-atomic level so it was with trepidation that I went shopping at PC World for a video card to test out my workmanship. Now I'm looking for an image on their website for the product I bought, I note that video cards are not available for sale on-line. They didn't have a huge range in-store either. Hmmm, weird.

Anyway, I splashed out a whopping £60 on an ATI Radeon X550. I know realise, after looking at the box, that this just means it has that ATI ship-set on and the card is really a PowerColor card.

This card has itself as much RAM as Samantha's machine does. Works a treat first time so Samantha can at last make use of her Christmas present.
