what resolution do you play at? Whats the current rating on the 12 volt rail of this 350 watt PSU? And why do they have to be GeForce cards? An ATI 4550 would probably give you the best available performance for that small of a PSU, nVidia cards usually draw more power for the same performance because of the added on features making them less desirable for low power situations.

reso is 1024x768. i was leaning to a PCI-e nvidia card for better openGL support...but im running a 128mb ati x300 se right now, so anything will be an upgrade:). Im not sure of the 12v rating...either 216 or 328w....it is a dell compatible startech atx2 350w power supply.

any help and vid card suggestions would be much appreciated
