Im in the process of looking for a new videocard for my pc. It currently has a x600 pro 256 meg Radeon that came with the system. I know it only has 4 pixel pipelines

and its really hurting my performance. I don't care if its an ATI or Nvidia
card, im just looking for something better. The only special needs for the card are that is PCI-E and it has to work with a 300 watt PSU. I would perfer something in the sub 150 dollar range.

I doubt a PCI-E card (because at that price range, the card will be pretty power-consuming) will be able to run very well with a 300W PSU.

Here is a card to consider, nontheless.

The eVGA 6600GT PCI-e is $135, but you will have to upgrade your PSU. A good solid PSU is essential to stable system performance. Get a crappy one, or overload one, and it could literaly explode, and take other parts out with it.

Edit: Dang it, quit beating me to the answer!

Eh, me? *Innocent eyes*

What did I do?

This would be a Grea card ... has 12 pipelines it fast ... ATI...for under 150$!!! Its a x800GTO check it out

I would advise saving for the new age DX10 cards and updated system

Another point to make It has 256Megs and 256 bit memory interface Unlike the weak 6600gt

Thanks, im thinking of changing the power supply. I need some recommendations. The pc is a HP Media Center m1095c.

I think it's not a very good deal. I don't think it's a lot faster than your x600.

I would chose something based on x800GT/GTO wich are usualy very overclockable and maybe you can unlock some extra pipes. If nVidia is your thing maybe a 6600GT, but that wouldn't be a huge improvement over your curent rig. A 6800XT would beat a 6600GT at higher res.
