Nice thread. Helpful Info. I have a related question.

I have an older system, play games, and was using a 7300GT card with reasonable results on some older DX9 games, Oblivion, Medieval Total War II, and Civilization IV.

The other day, my 7300GT hit a BSOD and I pulled the card and now have my previous older 6600 card.

I would like to upgrade from my 7300GT to the next, even minor incremental improvement for something around $50.

My Dell Dimension E510 has a stock PSU. When I looked at the specs it said 305W.


I am using a 17 Monitor and Pentium IV CPU.

It seems to me that one needs to watch out for buying a card that needs more power than is available and overheating.

I'm just interested in any small incremental upgrade from my 7300GT without exceeding my other specs.

If somebody has a good suggestion I would be appreciative! Thanks in advance!!!

I would suggest starting your own thread.

I was tought to generally keep the same topics in the same threads to avoid having to many threads about the same thing. Maybe this forum works differently. I never paid that much attention to Power Supply but now I want to be careful about what I do. Thanks for your help. Sorry if I commited a faux-pax.
