Anti-Static bags?

Hi guys I plan on mailing some RAM to someone on the forums soon and I can't find the anti-static bag for it in my apartment. Any suggestions on where to look for such a thing or something else I can use as a safe alternative?

Graphics card not sending image to LCD!

I have .net on windows so it goes to that pick a profile screen before making the windows welcome sounds :(. Since I cant see anything I can't click it. As for previous card it was a BFG 5900 Ultra, with an Asus P4P800 mobo (AGP). What exactly do you mean by turning off the x1800?

Graphics card not sending image to LCD!

My monitor only has a cable that is a VGA so I am using VGA with the provided adapter. How would I go about manually toggling my display's input source? I have a Sony SDM-73 LCD. Also I did reseat the graphics card, nothing. Also cleared the CMOS, that didn't do anything either :(.
