Hello
I have a Dimension (Dell) 8400 and as far as I understand it from the research I've done, my PSU is conservativly rated at 350W 12v - 28amp (Not certain, just what a number of people have said). A number of people have said it is safe to run a 8800 GT on this system. Now my question is, can this system run a 9600 GT? I can get one of these for 70 dollars less and it seems its only 10% slower. Plus I'm not going to be playing over 1240X1024 since, I want respectable performance in online gaming.
Also, is it safe to assume that the 9600 GT has more room to grow performance wise through new drivers, since its the newest of the cards?
thanks in advance,
Orion
