Hi all, posting yet another question about a graphics card and will it be compatible with my psu. Here is the link for it:http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/667/874/-/5173042/Play-Value-Geforce-8600GT-Super+-1GB-PCI-Express-X16-Graphics-Card/Product.html?searchtype=genre#

It seems pretty beefy its £60 and the psu for my computer is 350 watts.

Will it run smoothly on my computer or could there be issues? Thanks I just wanted to know this before i go and buy it.

Depends on the brand of your CPU. Decent brand you should be ok, no brand will probably blow up in your face.

Yeah, it does, and it's really linked to the core. The memory interface just doesn't have enough bandwidth to make use of it.
