AMD Barton 3200+
1GB RAM
9600 pro
shitty 300W PSU with a 18A 12V rail.
I am pretty close to retiring this machine. What would be awesome would be if I could keep it usable for at least a while. Obviously I haven't really been able to play any games for a long while so I don't expect any miracles, but would it be possible to put a 7600GT or some other card (something in that price range, I am not looking to spend any great amounts on this old thing) and actually be able to play newer games like say bioshock?
Please tell me about graphic cards that wouldn't be limited by my CPU and would work with a fairly weak 300W PSU and in a normal 8x AGP slot. I don't think there would be any point to getting a card that wouldn't be many times faster than my current one.
