My friend will not let go of an ancient Gateway Performance P1400.
He lets his kids primarily use it and they trash it from time to time.
In any case, he has an ATI X800 PRO in it now. What is the most powerful card he could put in the box? I already explained to him that he would more than likely have to buy a new power supply.
The card has an older connector on it that looks alot like the one of this card: ATI Radeon 9550 / 256MB DDR / AGP 8x
Here is a link to the picture of it as the connector to the motherboard seems odd to me.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
