There is apparently a neat little hack to access the excess high-speed RAM
in those cards (which many of us will simply not use) and append it in
various ways to the system RAM. I haven't done it, but it sounds fun!

I never had any problem with it. The thing that gets me: I usually hit the
man page first. After my eyeballs start spinning, I often think "maybe the
info page will be better."
	But nine times out of ten, there isn't one. So, off to
/usr/share/doc/foo.
	Speaking of which, why do we need "share" in there?
/doc is still under /usr, so... bleah. I digress.
