So my girlfriend wants to play the sims 3 on her computer, but she has an integrated graphics card which gives her less than acceptable performance. I am looking to put in a graphics card, but with her limited power supply (17 amps and 300 watts, i believe) it severely limits what cards she can use. I'm wondering what's the best low profile card that will give her decent frame rates on Sims 3. (Mind you she plays at 1024x768, max resolution, and she has a p4 2.8 dual core. Gonna be putting in another half gig of ram, to bring it up to 1 gig of ram..)
