I was thinking of using a trace pen instead of a pencil, but i have to test draw on some material to see what thickness yields what resistance. No good to ruin the card by bridging the points, then having to scrape it off or something. I just don't want to play with a soldering iron and my video card as a near first attempt. besides, I'd have to buy all the crap to do it. At that point, with the MM added in I'd have been better off buying a 4870 Cheaper.
