Newegg for the ram

Newegg for the card -AGP

Newegg for the card - PCI-E

Thanks bob4432
I'm just about ready to pull the trigger but...

I was hoping to use my old Antec SX630II case and SL300S power supply. All Antec says is that it is ATX12V compliant. Chaintech says I need an ATX2.0 compliant PS. Is that the same as ATX12V?. I like the case do you think it would be worthwhile to add a new PS to it? If so which one and where do you recommend I get it. Thanks again

i think the issue is related to the 24pin conector where your current case probably has a 20 pin conector and may or may not have the extra 4pin connector that the m/b uses. you may be able to pick up a new antec case with the appropriate p/s for the same price as a p/s by itself.

somebody else may need to comment on this as i have heard that there are no probs using the 20-24 pin adapters and some say there are problems doing that.

a friend of mine has genereic 400W p/s running a a64 3000/1GB ram/6600gt and used the adapter and has no problems, but i am not sure if everybody is doing ok this way.
