i have a old p4 computer down in my basement. the specs are p4 3.0e prescott, 1gb of pc-3200 ram, 80gb 7200rpm hdd, geforce 5500 agp, a cd-rw burner, and a 300w psu. i just recently found out that it supports pci-e 16x(1 slot) and my geforce 5500 just went dead on me. im looking for a cheap graphics card to upgrade to and im wondering if sticking a radeon 2600pro or a geforce 8500gt is better. or should i just go cheap and stick in a radeon 3450? also is my psu up to the task for the new graphics card? how much of a performance boost will i be getting from my geforce 5500?
