wait till you have it @ home ... so you know what you have, and post it here ?
for what i've been reading about it , it has a 250W ps ? (maybe i'm wrong ?)
it will not be enough for that 8400GS you posted : System Requirements Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply

Yeah ik my current rig I was gonna use it but not sure what it is ill prolly try and look at it 2morrow. Also what I been reading it will have the pci e x 16. And using a 2.0 may require and extra plug to powersupply due to more power bein used. Ill look tues when. I get it.
My current power supply is 350w I was gonna tansfer it over.

For the extra $20 I would go with the 9800GT I posted. That is if your PSU will run it. It will be a decent card to put in your new PC even if it was used just to run Physx.

Hey thanx guys. I like that card. I looked at specs and 350w power supply is what i got. Plus when I get the new puter I can get another one and run both...wohoo. Plus i found it for 59.99 @ http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... etailspecs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I think its the same card. I think itll fit in the case too. Im gonna look for dimensions for it and measure first. Itll work til Feb. I cant wait itll be a improvement even though this ised puter is only a single core P4 3.5ghz i currnetly havea athlon 1.7ghz 7600GS agp vid card. Only othe ? i have will heat be a problem running it stock. Cause I noticed on the used puter i got theres not alot of ventilation. 1 huge fan in back. no place for more. Also I can finally play cod modern warfare...lol ik everyone else is over it. I bought it when 1st came out but my processor was to slow so i never played it...lol Then Feb when i get a NEW puter I can move up to all the games ya all are on.

It needs a minimum 350w power supply so its very close. As for heat worries, fans are cheap, and drilling holes is even cheaper.
