Ok I've been having a serious Ghosting problem with my geforce with any resolution above 640X480. I have heard that the geforce sucks up a lot of power. I have:
P3 600E
Tyan Trinity 400
2 18GB scsi HDs @10,00orpm
1 Kenwood 52X scsi cdrom
1 pioneer 6x scsi dvd
1 yamaha scsi cdrw
7 Fans
leadtek geforce 2 64mb
linksys 10/100 nic
soundblaster live platinum
Adaptec 2940u2w

all this running on an Enermax 300W pwer supply.
300W should be enough right?
Or would upgrading fix my ghosting problem?

Try disconnecting as much stuff as you can, see if the problem with the vid card goes away.
