chsh1ca - didn't take it as a flame. :) I am still pretty new to the internal workings of these things, so what you mentioned is something I am going to look forward to doing in the future. This is what I HAD to do ... Well, the tech person at Gateway (where I got my PC from) told me my...

Good deal ... I will probably get the SL350 then (350W). It does say though "+5V and +3.3V combined output: 230Watts max." .... is that something I have to worry about?

I am having a prob finding these cards locally. GRRRRRR! The only thing I have found so far is a ATI Radeon 9500 pro for $220 at my local circuit city. If I cannot find one, I might just go cheap for now ... heard the GeForce4 MX 440 was a good lower end card. Is that true? I can probably...

Thanks for the welcome squidman ... been a long time viewer (for last 2 years) ... used to have an account but I forgot what it was. :) I am VERY CPU unknowledgable. I was thinking the GeForce4 Ti series due to what I have heard about those being good. I haven't heard a thing about the ATI...
