Hey, guys. I have a tough question that I wanted to pose to the experts. A friend of mine has an HP machine was a weak 300 Watt power supply. He's currently running an FX 5500 and he needs a new AGP card that can give him solid performance (budget = $200). THere are plenty of monster AGP cards to be had for that price, but I'm worried about overtaxing the system's power supply.
So, here's the question: what's the best AGP card that draws the least power? What card would you feel comfortable suggesting?
He's running an Athlon 64 3500+, DVD Drive, CDRW Drive, sound card and two hard drives on a fairly generic HP 300 watt power supply, if that information helps.
Thanks for the help!
