   A trace shouldn't take more than a few days.   If they don't find 
anything, then you WILL be out a video card, unless you can get the 
other guy's address.  I usually use UPS for anything valueable.  They 
are really good on traces and security.  I use US mail for stuff that
is bought in a dead/not working state.  US mail can destroy/lose
ANYTHING!, including a IBM selectric typewrited shipped from Chicago
to NYC.  I swear they ran the damm thing over with a truck.
 

   Now, I may be wrong, but if you were swapping JUST the card for the
memory, I wonder...

    4 4mb x 9 SIMMS @ ~110 each = $440 bucks.

    ATI Ultra = ~250 bucks (not sure, but is is less than the memory)

 Would anyone swap that much memory for for just a card?  That would 
smell like a rip-off to me.
