I don't know about the RAM issue. I'm thinking you meant Megabytes, not Kilos, but in that case I've only got 256M so. New reference drivers from Nvidia got HL unscrewed, but the Ghost Recon demo still acted funny. Bad breakup when I'd first start a game, when/if it settled out the guys on my squad were invisible men, floating guns and helmets and webgear with no bodies holding them up. Kinda funny, actually. Alt-Tab to desktop and come back in straightens is out in 32bit color, but there's no workaround in 16bit.

Good idea. Thanks.

>12GB? Geez, collect MP3s?

Well, I have to get the music for the cues in Eyrie works somewhere B-)
But seriously, that's only circa 1.5 gigs of it. I think most of it is various sundry utilities, my roommate's raw .wav and .bmp remixes and artworks, anime music videos (downloaded a lot of those since I got my cable in way back whenever)and, big surprise, games. Game installs are ludicrous nowadays. Add in mods, maps, utils, and whatnot, it adds up. Sierra has the oh-so-endearing habit of sticking mods I don't want or play in with required upgrades, too. I've lost track of the times I've deleted the TeamFortress Classic folder.
