dosent sound too promising, does it?
well, to make a long story short, i've finally gotten around to replacing my aging 9600 pro, with a nice spanking new eVGA 7800GS (that i got at like 2/3's of the price it's usually sold at) and i should be getting it within the next couple of days...
the thing is, i really doubt that my aging 300 watt HEC PSU will be able to power it effectivley
i need to know what kind of issues i can expect from an under-powered (litelerly) card. so any help would be appriciated...
i also would like to get recommendations from you folk on dirt-cheap (yet still at least somewhat quality) replacement PSU that would be able to handle the card at least at stock (as i dont plan on overclocking it in the forseeable future) should the need actually arise to replace it. (and i do believe it will arise, at one point or another...)
