ATi Radeon X600 PRO 256MB

NVidia GeForce 6600LE 256MB

ATI Radeon is the one i would pickl.
I ahve had both a ge force and an ati and i ahve to say i like the ati better.

How does the the ati handle new games? at what settings do you get good framerates?

I'd have to say that this one might be better for a couple of years more if needed...

Hey nukem what psu does that card need ? ive got 350w on mine, and how will that card hold out in new games?

 

[Nukem]

a 350 should be good as long as it's +12v side is 18A or better. and it'll hold up against newer games no problem. My neighbor has one and he plays FEAR, Q4, WOW, etc... on med settings with no worries, but he does have a 450W psu with 23A... (just fyi) but you might want to upgrade if it's proprietary.

i dunno if its +12v is better than 18a-will it say this on the side of the psu? and info on my psu go to this page:
http://www.goldenelectronics.co.uk/...ne-advertised-AMD-Sempron-64-bit--MA0101.html
go to the bottom of the page and by the casepic is a little question mark click on that and my case is the top one.

 

[Nukem]

if the site was offering a 7600GT for it already, then the PSU will be good enough to handle it.

ya.. my compaq 19amp 350 watt psu was able to handle a 6800gs
