Okay, bumped the RAM up to 8GB.
And I'm impressed. The disk thrashing reduced to the point that it has almost stopped, and Team Fortress 2 is actually very playable. The framerate's good and much more consistent with much fewer drops now, and the lag has significantly reduced.
Also, somewhat surprisingly, the video RAM allocation has went up to 512MB from 288MB. That may explain for the smoother graphics.
The Best Medicine > Magic. Because SCIENCE! can prove the former.

We're probably going camping next week, as in seven or eight days from now! Next week is a holiday for the kids, no school. James still has work and Ben might have work next week. (Ben has a shop open in the afternoon and early evening, which he can close up whenever he needs or wants to. He does sometimes cater for events, though, hence why he could have work next week.)
If we camp nearby, in a certain campground in particular, the men can just drive to the campground after their work. For James, it would be a shorter drive than driving home.
I know, I know. We always rent a cabin and go camping. It's the main affordable sort of vacation we can all agree on. We've come to the conclusion that we soon need to buy a motor home for these adventures, instead of having The Adventures of Who Sleeps Where in Rental Cabins, though a motor home can wait until next time. The cabins at camp grounds don't account for a double family of our number.
This time, I want camping to be the main focus, not places near the campground. The last time that happened was on my second honeymoon, and let's just say camping still wasn't quite the main focus there. On this coming trip, I want the older kids to have lots of nature adventures and, if we go to the aforementioned certain campground, we'll see attractions within the campground: big long log and stone castles that are nature and history museums hidden in the woods. This is something I didn't know about, and the reason I suggested we go. Everyone likes the idea, so it's now a matter of what doctors say and if the cabins have already been claimed for next week.

Dork that I am, I have already made an AMV for Cherry Jam, using a song from a VeggieTales episode. But it fits, it so does. There's another that I'm bound to make once the new eps actually start airing, but we'll see if that actually comes to fruition.
