I have the main hd, and a 500gig external drive. 4 slots of ram filled up (1 gig, 512, and two 262), cd burner/player, dvd burner/player, a spot for camera cards, like 8 USB ports, pretty much all of them are taken up with the external hard drive, mouse, keyboard, creative zen player... I'm sure all of this takes up a lot of the power. I will give more power a try before totally giving up on my card, until then, the old ones in and I still have to leave maya on hold I'm going to need some refreshing when I can finally use it again.

Thanks a lot everyone for the help. Anymore suggestions are definitely welcome
