Derek was just here and installed the new card - I've had that long-running psu argument with him (well, when he was putting pieces together for this puter two years ago before I gave the OK I looked at the psu and said - I think it needs to be bigger, but he convinced me it was fine), so he arrives at about 10:30 (just walks in - that's m' boy), pulls out the 8800, I say ARE YOU SURE THAT PSU IS BIG ENOUGH?? and he says, "You are in luck, or maybe not in luck - this psu won't work (wrong amps) - I'll be back in an hour."

He came back with a 650w and put it in, wrestled with the cables, fired it up, and adjusted a few things, then I went in SL (and discovered I was a robot - I'd been in the middle of taking Combat Cards pictures when it blew up A MONTH AGO) and it all felt weird (of course). So - a month + $500 = seems ok - wonder how long I'll tip-toe about before I feel confident.
