Thanks all...the new card was a bit long and I could have cut off the metal tab as indicated, but I merely removed the media bay case and bent the tab. The card fit just right thereafter.

the galaxy geforce 9600gt states it's low power @ 300w...which would still require a PSU upgrade. i'm only using it for a PC media center, and read the stock PSU would work ok for this application. so far so good.

as for threads on PSU upgrade, here's a pretty good video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Y2PPMiiB0
