I thought I'd put this out their as I'm having a little trouble confidently deciding a solution on my own. I have a 2003 gateway with 250W power supply, PCI slots, AGP slot and a burnt out ATI Radeon 9700 graphics card. I'm looking to replace/upgrade my card for 100-150$. The two options I have spotted are: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143083 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143069
Now the catch is that they both require a 350 W power supply. So my question is: are these on par with or better than my previous ATI 9700 card? and - is it worth it to drop the extra 20-30$ on a 350 W power supply to support whichever of these I choose? Any input is greatly appreciated
oh and any reccomendations would be awesome!
