Quick update:
Updated graphics driver. Endured Windows Update.
Switching to the Graphics tab no longer causes the game to hit the wall.
However the League lag is still evident.
Managed to get most of the Ultra stuff back. Fiddling around with the graphics setting really affected the load on the CPU, which surprised me. That's why I got such a good card - to off load graphics calculations from the CPU to a dedicated chip on the card.
I'll have to wait a bit before I go and upgrade to x64. Have to a)back everything up again, and b)save up for the upgrade token.
I've tried to convince my folks that we need a better connection but no dice. We're in the process of selling this place and they don't see the need. 4.9km from the nearest exchange is a long wire as far as ADSL. While ADSL2 is available in the area, we're 'moving once the house sells' and 'don't want to get locked into a contract'. So chances of switching net plans... zero. I'll be able to address it once the house sells, but the market here is dead.
