Without upgrading my PS, anyone know of a decent PCI-e video card that can be supported by a 300 watt supply? It seems most of the 'big' cards like a lot of juice.

shameless - Don't know when they started, just bought it a week ago at Circuit City. I read a lot of good things about the AMD x2 3800+

yes, it is a PCI-e. I read another thread elsewhere that stated the 300W isn't the problem since PCI-e slots only draw 75 watts regardless, but its the needed amperage that is the concern. I would then make the assumption that higher wattage PSU also have higher amperages.

(galdoes16 I think a 7600GT would be the best for under $200.) thanks for the info. I notice the 7600GT says it needs a 400W PS, mine is only 300W. what's your take on that?

I recently purchased this Gateway system: ~AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 3800+ dual core processor 64-bit processor with AMD64 Technology 2 x 512KB L2 cache | operates at 2GHz | 2000MHz system bus ~NVIDIA® GeForce® 6100 GPU up to 128MB of shared video memory ~1024MB DDR (2 x 512MB), 400Mhz...
